The big question of the story is wether or not a beautiful bronze discovered while uprooting trees is cursed, or worse, alive. As directed by Mario Bava, with the charming Daria Nicolodi, the movie becomes a study about love and what are you prepared to do for it. The camera turns around Daria and the Bronze like the soft touch of a lover. In that day of computer animated objects and incredible special effects, it is good to see a director who then relied on clever editing and camera movement and sound to make us believe.
