description
Digitmovies is proud to release for the first absolute time on disc the original score composed and conducted by Bruno Nicolai for the film directed by Jess Franco Una vergine tra i morti viventi.
Jess Franco has realized a film rich of all those elements that characterize its long Filmography like erotism, esoterism, perversion, mystery and the music of Bruno Nicolai reflects perfectly that alarming atmosphere in continuous equilibrium between the good and the evil, the light and the darkness, love and death.
This third volume dedicated to the music of M° Nicolai for the Cinema of Jess Franco, after Eugenie De Sade' 70 and 99 women, is possible thanks to the master tapes survived (in mono mix) recently discovered in the Edipan vaults.
In the opening credits Bruno Nicolai is credited also as creator of sound special effects, in fact the score is characterized by electronic sinket according to the canons of the Italian Contemporary Music of which the composer it is one of the most important representatives.
The film and the Cd open with a suspenseful and mysterious theme given by an introduction of harp with echo, celesta, in order to develop itself in a chaotic, much modern and rhythmic motif, with sacred flavour given by a liturgical organ (Tr. 1) reprised in Tr. 3 and Tr. 13.
This score features several atonal music themes for strings with additional distorted electric guitar like in Tr. 2, Tr. 6, Tr. 8, Tr. 9.
Bruno Nicolai has written a wonderful love theme for the main character of Christine, a sweet and melancholic theme performed by the crystal voice of Edda Dell'Orso (Tr. 11, Tr. 12, Tr. 23).
Lounge style music does not lack like the elegant orchestral bossa vocalized by Edda Dell'Orso (Tr. 7), pieces for solo piano (Tr. 5, Tr. 14, Tr. 19) and the rock-dance floor music, between sacred and profane, for the scene of the satanic ritual (Tr. 21).
 
story

Pretty Christina (Christina von Blanc) encounters ghostly apparitions when she travels to a mansion in Honduras for the reading of her father's will.
Thinking that she is going mad, Christina investigates further and discovers some horrible family secrets which could consume her.
This witty erotic horror effort from cult director Jesus Franco is a perfect example of the re-editing and butchering of European films, which became common practice in the 1970s.
At least 10 different versions exist, some with completely different plots than others.
A 1974 re-release contained softcore sexual inserts featuring Marie-France Broquet, Waldemar Wohlfaart, and other performers not present in the original version.
In the 1980s, French director Jean Rollin was hired by the Eurocine studio (by far the most common offender in the area of cut-and-paste filmmaking) to shoot additional scenes.
Rollin's footage consists of approximately 15 minutes of gory, uninspired zombie attacks, meant to capitalize on a then-popular subgenre initiated by Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2.
Yet another version contained scenes from a Rollin-directed vampire film and was advertised with a picture of Vincent Price, who does not appear in any known version of this film.
Further complicating matters is the fact that most of these alternate versions exist in varying lengths, reducing a rather interesting film to an incomprehensible mess.
Britt Nichols, Paul Muller, Howard Vernon, and Anne Libert co-star, and Franco appears in a cameo role excised from some prints.
