The Plot The PlotJennette, an exotic dancer, seems content with her life. She's beautiful (and blonde), has a successful career in show business and has a great looking boyfriend. Pierre (the boyfriend) turns up backstage and breaks up with her. Upset, she tears away from the nightclub and speeds her car off a cliff in a flaming crash that leaves her horribly disfigured. But Doctor Levyn and his beautiful (but bruenette) assistant Monique come to her rescue. They use an experimental serum to restore her beauty. But the fix is temporary. Others must die for her to remain exquisite. You can pretty much figure out the rest. Film NotesWhither Thou Goest, Vampire?Atom Age Vampire occupies a territory somewhere between the sleazy cheap sci-fi exploitation of The Brain That Wouldn't Die and the artsy poetic horror of Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face. Toss in a bit of Dr Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and some Italian gothic cinema stylistic touches, and you have a movie with a little atomic energy, but alas not a single vampire. An early example of the Italian horror movie genre that would burst into enormous popularity in the mid-sixties, Atom Age Vampire hints at the luridness and surrealism of later films, but at least in this English language version, does not deliver the goods, bads and uglies. Still, it has its creepy moments, and if you're one of those that likes such things (and you know who you are), there's some perverted enjoyment to be had. Oh, Pierre!The classically trained Sergio Fantoni starred in numerous Italian films from the 1950s. He also appeared in a number of big-budget English language film productions such as Belly of an Architect (1986), What Did You Do in the War, Daddy? (1966), Do Not Disturb (1965), Von Ryan's Express (1965), and The Prize (1963). The WanderersDirector Anton Giulio Majno was one of the screenwriters on the rather strange 1947 Ebreo Errante (The Wandering Jew) starring the great Vittorio Gassman at the start of his acting career. Directed by Goffredo Alessandrini, a major director of the Fascist era, it concerned a French Jew who collaborates with the Nazis, but eventually pays for his transgressions by allowing himself to be sent to a concentration camp. He escapes the camp, but in order to save lives allows himself once again to be captured, and this time killed.
