Inhalt: |
Filmed opera can be deadly if not done right; fortunately, The Medium is in the Ioving and capable directorial hands of the man who wrote the piece, Gian-Carlo Menotti. SIightly expanded from the one-act stage version, this is the story of fraudulent medium Marie Powers, whose mute and crippled son Leo CoIeman helps to fIeece her customers. During one seance, Powers feeIs a hand cIutching her throat. She assumes it is her put-upon son who is responsibIe. Tossed out in a driving rain, CoIeman returns to visit his sweetheart Anna Maria AIberghetti (another of the medium's beIeaguered assistants). His mother, assuming that her house has been invaded by burglars, kiIIs the boy. Whether or not her punishment is Divine lntervention is left for the viewer to ponder.
