    WSR Narrative Review
    Story Synopsis:
    Lisa And The Devil is a story of a group of travelers who experience nightmarish events after their car breaks down near a Spanish villa. Lisa (Elke Sommer) and the others are invited to spend a night at the mysterious mansion whose strange occupants all seem to be living in the distant past. As night falls, gloom hangs over the stately villa and, one by one, they all succumb to jealousy, ha-tred and eventually, death. Telly Savalas (licking a lollipop a year before Kojak) plays the villa’s Leandro, the incarnation of the devil, who has a strange fascination with Lisa.

    LaserDisc Picture:
    The picture is slightly blurry with poor shadow detail and noise and grain in the darker scenes, but colors are fully saturated with natural fleshtones.

    LaserDisc Soundtrack:
    The sound is undistinguished monaural.
