Odd show
by ReturnofMyrtleford702025-10-31
6/10

"Some very odd dialogue included the following: "I was worried, you didn't come to bed all night". "I knew I forgot something". Then there was that rather interesting opening song and the use of the second movement of Beethoven's eighth piano sonata, which is well known for the opening theme to Karl Haas' radio programme "Adventures in Good Music. Overall worth a look for a slightly strange made for tv movie (which was released in the cinema in Japan)...."
