Mill of the Stone Women (1960)

Starring: Pierre Brice, Scilla Gabel, Dany Carrel
Director: Giorgio Ferroni

Premise:
A reporter comes to a small town to write an article on a sculptor, who lives on an island in an old mill. He starts to develope feelings for the sculptor's daughter and an old flame. He then makes a connection between local disapperances and secret experiments by a local doctor.

My Take:
There is a lot of good atmosphere in this flick. The plot moves a bit slow and leans heavily on drama but mesh works well. The love triangle is interesting and drives the mystery behind the local disappearances. A well done movie with loads of positives.

Rating: So Good
