The film, which was a Quinn Martin Production, was originally given a cinematic release by 20th Century-Fox. The film was noted for its stylistic imagery and soundtrack by Jerry Goldsmith.

All Movie Guide noted Alan Alda's performance as the film's only weak point, praising the "offbeat cinematography", "truly shocking setpieces", and Jacqueline Bisset's "chillingly effective" performance, stating that these elements build a pervading sensation of doom.

Noted film critic Roger Ebert gave the movie 2 stars, commenting:. If a horror movie is to be taken seriously, it has to pretend to take horror seriously.

And this one doesn't. It reduces magic to a simpleminded ritual that anyone can perform: all our heroine has to do is steal some funny blue stuff and read pig Latin out of a book.

The magic works for her, too. But you get the notion that the people who made the film didn't take magic seriously enough.

I mean for instance; why is the man biting his fingernails? There must be some darker meaning to it. There is so much I enjoyed about this book, the cameos of real people, Lieberman romantic life, the suffragette moment, the murder mystery, etc.

Altogether it made me truly enjoy this book and I can't wait to read the first book! I want to thank the Pegasus Books for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!

He has over 5 pages that relate to the time period he was relating too. Everything seems to have been tried in realty.

The use of the Cardiograph by Professor de Cyon an incorporated into the story by Amelia is only one instance. There are many more like exceptions.

What really drives me crazy is that the worst person in the story gets away while other people are killed protecting him. I note that on PBS they have a show now called Vienna Blood which was written by Frank Tallis but the music isn't there and several other things were left out.

But the main thing is that it was shot in Vienna. I've been to a lot of the places Tallis describes with my daughter who lives there with her husband and children.

Bragging rights, one of her sons is a gifted musician and plays the piano and is in a music school where he came in second after another person won in competition in all of Austria.

I guess this make me kind of bias in a way. But this book is really good as a mystery. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers.

To view it, click here. Their work is meaningful, they have meaningful relationships with families, friends, colleagues, and lovers.

The author describes other characters with understanding and explains why they have become broken individuals. Both labels past and present still manage to distance theory and motivation from the actual horror that results—mass murder of human beings.

Kropotkin was a favorite teenage page of Alexander II. Thereafter, he joined a Cossack regiment posted in Siberia.

He became a distinguished scientist and was one of anarchisms greatest propagandists. His work on animal behavior—particularly mutual aid—represents a fascinating challenge to Darwinian orthodoxy.

The sections describing mob mentality in the voices of Freud and Liebermann is still and will always be hugely relevant, anywhere and everywhere there are communities of people.

Tallis reminds us that anti-Semitism has existed for over a millennium, at least in Germany—from 11th century pogroms to the Third Reich.

The reality was very different: bloodshed, terror, indiscriminate slaughter. Anarchists, socialists, pan-German nationalists—the crusading had never stopped.

Hosts, crowds, mobs—united beneath a symbol on a flag—allowing the unconscious to discharge its primitive energies. The promised land of the crusaders could never accommodate Muslims or Jews, just as the promised land of the anarchists required the expulsion of kings and capitalists.

Distinctiveness vanishes. We might say that the superstructure of personality is removed, and the unconscious foundations—which are similar in everyone—stand exposed to view.

He yields to instincts which he would perforce have kept under restraint. He becomes anonymous and his sense of personal responsibility disappears entirely.

He becomes impulsive, less thoughtful. By the mere fact that he is now part of a group, a man descends several rungs down the ladder of civilization.

Isolated, he may be a cultivated individual; in a crowd, he is a barbarian—a creature animated by primitive drives.

A crowd is vengeful, fickle, and prone to extremities of purpose; a crowd is quick to persecute and bay for blood; a crowd is always close to becoming a mob.

Politicians are always oversimplifying, always engaging the public by making emotional appeals that owe more to prejudice than rationality.

We have ceded our democracy, allowing fearmongers and bullies to seize control. The talking heads on Fox News have brayed fake news for years, sowing intolerance and hate.

But frankly, I have no desire to be protected if the preservation of my safety necessitates tacit endorsement of medieval brutality. We become more monstrous than those who we deign to call monsters.

Edgar Hoover became a monster by ordering wholescale snooping on American citizens. Joe McCarthy took the Communist witch hunt one step further with his infamous Senate hearings of artists, writers, and the Hollywood film industry.

See the film by the same name, starring Meryl Streep. Thankfully that practice was exposed and halted. But how could these supposedly brightest of the bright not realize torture never works?

They only succeeded in sowing more hatred and radicalizing more individuals. In trying to make our country safer, they became monsters and made us even more more vulnerable.

But back to more benign topics. I appreciate that he is a scientist himself, and credits the scientists who blazed a trail for future scientists and inventors.

We are reminded just how rapidly the world of science—particularly medicine—has advanced in just over years.

Many things we all take for granted today were only invented a century ago, during the lifetimes of our great-grandparents. How clunky and dangerous the original was!

Nevertheless it sowed the seed from which the field of probability theory grew. No references regarding invisible ink, probably because it has such a long, varied history in and of itself.

Who knew?? Fascinating stuff. I also love that Tallis includes so many references to classical composers of that time period, and gives music a prominent role in the lives of his protagonists.

Only by putting himself in the mind of the villain, biologist Mephistopheles, does he make the connection between the moth—mutated darker through natural selection to better conceal itself in a dirty city like Vienna—and the unbreakable coded letter.

The idea of concealment prompts him to light a match under the visible lines of code, thus causing the invisible plaintext between lines to become visible.

Tallis is absolutely masterful here, and I hope this is not the last we hear from him, especially about Liebermann et al.

Sep 24, Jill Hutchinson rated it really liked it Shelves: mystery-police-procedural. I am new to this series so had no idea what to expect.

And I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere of turn of the 19th century Vienna is beautifully crafted An unidentified man is found dead in a deserted building and we are introduced to the main investigators Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt and his friend and c I am new to this series so had no idea what to expect.

Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt and his friend and consultant Dr. Max Lieberman, a young psychiatrist and student of Freud.

Rumors abound that something is in the wind which may involve an assassination attempt on the Emperor and a mysterious mastermind known only as Mephistopheles may be the key.

The plot thickens as several more murders are committed and the two protagonists frantically search the city for clues before more mayhem can ensue.

It may sound a bit corny but it really is quite well written. The plot is intricate but believable as it reflects the unrest that was beginning prior to the Great War.

I intend to read more of this author. For the most part, the previous Max Liebermann mysteries by Frank Tallis were charming, humorous, and bitingly critical of the politics and culture of Viennese society during the late s and early s.

We identified with Max, a psychiatrist, as he tended to troubled patients; helped his friend, Detective Inspector Oskar Rheinhardt, solve homicides; and looked for a compatible woman with whom he could share his life.

A criminal mastermind, known as Mephistopheles thanks to his devilish appearance , skillfully manipulates others but is too clever to be captured himself.

Max, meanwhile, continues to care for his mentally ill patients, but also finds time to assist Oskar with his investigations. When an unidentified killer shoots a man in a former piano factory and disfigures the victim's face with acid, Rheinhardt's boss pressures him to make a quick arrest..

Other deaths follow, but with all the radicals, nihilists, and anarchists at large, it will not be easy to close these cases.

On a more upbeat note, Max is blissfully happy in his relationship with the intelligent and independent Amelia Lydgate. This work of fiction, unfortunately, rarely comes to life, mostly because of its chaotic and disjointed plot.

Tallis hastily moves from one character to another and fills the narrative with tangential elements, which generates confusion and prevents us from caring about anyone in particular.

Sigmund Freud makes a cameo appearance that adds little to the proceedings. The novel picks up steam in the final pages, when our heroes desperately try to prevent a malevolent individual from taking even more innocent lives.

Although "Mephisto Waltz" is intermittently entertaining, it lacks the sparkle and originality that made the earlier Liebermann books such a delight.

Dec 04, Steven Belanger rated it it was amazing. Review Mephisto Waltz. The book starts with a three-member jury sentencing someone to death.

The mystery is handled well, but in a way you may not be familiar with, and I mean that as a very good thing. The crimes are part of this earlyth Century world, before WWI and, in fact, in the time of early cars Herr Porsche is a minor character, his car is a push-button, as many of the earliest ones were, and he drives a hybrid!

No sensationalism; no guns. None of the tropes of the genre. They happen as they would happen in that world, and that world molds them.

The crimes enhance that world. This is the kind of thing that makes Dan Brown books so interesting: I buy those in their Illustrated Editions to see the paintings, to look at the sculptures, to learn about the locations Good idea to Pegasus Books: Consider publishing Illustrated Editions of this series, going back to the first—and why not include a CD or a link to listen to the constantly-referenced music of the time?

This series is different, each one a stand-alone, distinct. Tallis publishes one every five to six years, and maybe for this reason.

And Mephisto Waltz even has a cool, gaslight-noir cover. So grab this one. You may read it in one sitting, like I did. And feel free to look up the music, the people, the art, and the inventions of that world.

The Detective consults with an old friend and alienist, Doctor Max Liebermann. Liebermann is a student of Sigmund Freud.

Together Reinhardt and Liebermann investigate, interrogate suspects, and try to make their findings sure by use of the latest in criminal science.

The book is a tale of spies, anarchists, counterspies, bombs, murder, political assassination and intrigue. Detective Inspector Reinhardt is part of the intelligence bureau, and at times finds himself clashing with Captain Hoover of the security office over how to proceed… I found it very neat how Tallis works period crime-solving methods into the story.

Fingerprints are just beginning to be accepted as unimpeachable evidence. There is also an account of what might be the first attempt at a lie detector.

I also liked the interludes when the investigators, hot on the trail, would take a break to sing and play music.

In a rush to examine a crime scene, they have time to savor a delicious sausage from a street vendor.

Recommended with qualifications. Feb 09, Jill Meyer rated it it was ok. I read and review a series book differently than I read a standalone.

Maybe because I'm usually familiar with the series' characters and histories, I expect different writing than in an unfamiliar book. Set in Vienna in the early 's, Tallis returns to his characters with a new story to add to the on-going one.

Frankly, though, I was disappointed in the book. The story, about anarchists poss I read and review a series book differently than I read a standalone.

The story, about anarchists possibly mounting an attack on Hapsburg and other governmental officials, was disjointed. People were getting murdered and bodies were turning up in obscure places around the city.

Police Detective Inspector Rheinhardt is called in to investigate the murders which may point to a plot against He asks his friend, Dr Max Liebermann, to join him and try to make sense of the psychological aspects of the murders and the possible plot.

Liebermann returns with his lady-friend, Englishwoman Amelia Lydgate and their slow-moving romance. The problem with the book is that Tallis doesn't seem engaged with either his characters or plot.

I think a reader can tell when an author is not at his best, particularly when the reader has read and is familiar with the preceding books in the series.

I'm glad I read the book because I like the Liebermann series, but I can't recommend it to the new Tallis reader. Apr 04, Molly rated it liked it.

The plot concerns anarchists who, believing they are working toward world peace, the end of poverty, and some kind of equality of gender and personhood, act to assassinate emperors to destroy empires.

Newfangled crime tools like fingerprinting and lie detectors are just beginning to be used. Liebermann speaks with Freud about mob psychology and the diffusion and indeed debasement of the individual's morality in the midst of a crowd.

Jun 07, Carolyn Crocker rated it really liked it. Advances in science and culture play a huge role in thwarting a terrorist attack, and growth in the personal lives of the main characters do as well.

It was good to re-visit Max and Detective Inspector Rheinhardt after their hiatus of a few years. However, they seemed a bit faded. Their personalities didn't seem as colorful or the Austrian pastries described with quite the same verve.

Perhaps the plot was more important than in past entries in the series, but the anarchists and the police and the Russian secret police and numerous dead bodies with differing means of death left me skimming over the plot.

At the end it was mostly all accounted It was good to re-visit Max and Detective Inspector Rheinhardt after their hiatus of a few years.
