Starring Hugo Haas, Cleo Moore, Mona Barrie
One of a string of intriguing low-budget noirs directed in Hollywood by Czech actor turned gutter auteur Hugo Haas, STRANGE FASCINATION stars the filmmaker himself as a renowned concert pianist whose relationship with a nightclub dancer (Cleo Moore, who starred in seven films directed by Haas) leads him down a road to ruin. Championed by no less than Martin Scorsese, Haas’s obsessively personal films circle relentlessly around the theme of love’s destructive power.
