La vergine di Norimberga (1963)

1964

Daily Cinema no.8872 (5-6 February 1964) p.7 (UK)
The film tends to overdo everything: too many twisting passages, too many midnight prowls, too many meaningful, but unexplained glances and far too much thumping background music [...] But the overall effect, with the striking use of colour and setting, is undeniably spinechilling [...] Non-squeamish audiences with a taste for this kind of horror hokum certainly won't be disappointed. - From a review by M.H.

Kine Weekly no.2940 (6 February 1964) p.19 (UK)
This is effective and, at times, thrilling nonsense that should get by with most audiences [...] The castle setting is magnificently vast and eerie, and clever lighting adds to the spooky effect. The incredible story is presented clearly and without many confusing red herrings [...] The photography is artistically atmospheric, but the dubbed dialogue is stilted. - From a review by Grahame Clarke
