Drawn to the spectacular south of France to research the late composer Henry Ryman, music student Susan Roberts (Stefanie Powers) encounters his son, drug-addicted Georges (James Olson) and his eccentric family. Investigating the haunting strains of an unfinished Ryman concerto leads Susan to discover an empty piano... and a brutally savaged mannequin! Georges tells her she's the lookalike of his lost love. But Susan may not be the only one at the villa with an eerie doppelgänger. (Verleiher-Text)

"Crescendo" certainly doesn't belong among the greatest horrors and thrillers that the Hammer studio has made, but it is still a film that isn't completely dismissible and can capture the viewer's attention, if not outright amaze them. I enjoyed the fact that the creators wanted to make it suspenseful at all costs, but it slips through their fingers a bit, so it becomes a bit comical towards the end. But overall, the storyline isn't that bad.
