This
is the rare, uncut version of Paul Leder's film (running 8 minutes longer
than the USA print).
The
story deals with a mysterious serial killer raping and murdering young
women in Los Angeles, leaving a baby doll with each of the mutilated
bodies. Rogue detective Louis Benz is convinced that a recently released
criminal named Larry Brown is responsible. Louis harasses the ex-con
until getting slapped with harassment charges. Suspended from the force,
he continues investigating, and finds that each victim was a patient
of a Beverly Hills doctor...
Director
Paul Leder was a former actor and singer on Broadway (best known for
co-starring with Phil Silvers in the musical Top Banana).
After the revival of Gay Paree closed in 1969, he decided
to try filmmaking. Paul financed and helmed a low budget, controversial
pedophile thriller POOR
ALBERT AND LITTLE ANNIE that found success in the 1971 Drive-In
circuit. After that film he went to Korea for GREAT
COUNTERATTACK OF KING KONG. Another 20+ movies followed until
poor health forced his retirement in early 1996. Mr Leder died from
lung cancer in April of that year. His daughter, Mimi Leder, is a successful
television director having helmed many episodes of both Shameless
and Leftovers (which she also produced).
