Couldn't sleep so I knocked another one off my Netflix queue. '5 Dolls For an August Moon', a hokey Mario Bava movie made in 1970. A handful of wealthy and ruthless couples end up stranded on an island with a very swank villa. There is a formula everyone wants from a professor there which would lead to great wealth, so naturally people start dying. It is basically a whodunit. A lazy effort from Bava would would do the same thing much better just a couple yeas later in Bay of Blood. Apparently he was assigned to direct this movie with only a week's notice and only gave a perfunctory effort. Not really worth watching unless you want to see a very heavily dated 70's movie. At least it is not long. Edwige Fenech is stunning in this movie though, she nearly makes it worth it, and Bava knows where to aim his camera when she is on scene. She is so smokin' hot in this movie that I can award her a perfect 10 with no reservations.
