description
Digitmovies proudly presents the first absolute release on CD of the complete original motion picture soundtrack by Francesco De Masi for the movie of the Italian Gothic genre La lama nel corpo.
In 1966 la C.A.M. issued an album (CDR 33 18), today very hard to find, containing 15 selected tracks in mono.
Thanks to friends at C.A.M. for this CD, we could use the mono album master tape and the mono master tapes of the complete Recording Session, that gave us the chance to add 14 previously unreleased music tracks.
The symphonic score is well structured on both suspence and dramatic themes like Tr. 1, Tr. 2, Tr. 3, Tr. 5, Tr. 9, Tr. 14 that well describe all the macabre side of the plot, often marked by the powerful sound of an electric bass guitar (a frequently used instrument from the author).
These themes are alternated to more soft and soothed atmospheres emphasized by a delicate love theme (Tr. 11, Tr. 20, Tr. 24).
The track Verso la speranza (Tr. 15) that closes the original vinyl album and the movie did appeal to so much to Mario Bava who wanted re-use it as Finale of his 1966 movie Operazione paura (Kill baby kill).

Our CD is also completed with a big record rarity:
the OST by M° De Masi for the movie Lo spettro directed by Riccardo Freda and starring Barbara Steele and Peter Baldwin.
That is the survived music, seven tracks in full stereo appeared long time ago on an obscure library album.
We have carefully restored a vinyl copy, miraculously found, cause the original Nazionalmusic master tapes are lost forever and we have brought the channels in the right positions due the fact on the vinyl source they were inverted.
A really unique rescue of the Italian Silver Age, done with the permission of the friends at Beat Records Company.
The orchestral music is mysterious, dramatic, dark: perfect music background for a woman tormented by her husband's ghost, killed by the woman herself with a doctor, her lover.
Francesco De Masi here has written a very sweet love theme, one of the most beautiful ones of his long career (Tr. 32) and then reprised for solo celesta (Tr. 34).
With all our big affection and esteem, we dedicate this long length CD to M° Francesco De Masi with his two scores whose he was very proud and who'll listen to them here will have only certainty of this.

 
story

la lama nel corpo
This spooky Italian thriller is set in a remote medical clinic for the deaf-mute in a town terrorized by a mysterious hooded slasher.
Many suspect that the doctor himself has been killing lovely young women.
The rumors say that he does the grisly deeds to help reconstruct the quick-lime burned face of his formerly beautiful sister-in-law.
Though it looked as if her falling into the vat of lime was an accident, some believe the doctor pushed her.
The mystery comes in because the doctor is not the only one at the clinic with murderous tendencies.
Other suspects include his crippled wife, a crazed patient, or an extortionist.

Cast:
William Berger, Françoise Prévost, Mary Young, Barbara Wilson, Philippe Hersent, Harriet Medin, Germano Longo, Massimo Righi, Delphi Maurin, Anna Maria Polani, Rossella Bergamonti, William Gold

Director:
Elio Scardamaglia


lo spettro
The alluring presence of doe-eyed horror icon Barbara Steele enlivens director Riccardo Freda's passable sequel to his own Horrible Dr. Hichcock.
Steele returns as Cynthia, the troubled widow of a sadistic murderer and necrophiliac, who had once conspired with her lover to murder her husband before she could become the next of his tortured playthings.
Unfortunately for her, you can't keep an evil man down, as proven by the sudden appearance of the doctor's vengeful ghost.
All is not quite as it seems, however, as we learn that the menacing apparition is somehow linked to Steele's mysterious housekeeper.
A workmanlike effort from the otherwise capable Freda (I Vampiri), this film plays like a less stylish retread of Diabolique.

Cast:
Barbara Steele, Peter Baldwin, Elio Jotta, Harriet Medin, Carol Bennet, Carlo Kechler, Umberto Raho, Reginald Price Anderson

Director:
Riccardo Freda
