An Argentine friend sent me a vhs of UNA LUZA EN LA VENANA quite awhile back. It's a typical "old dark house" movie: mad scientist, sinister servants, lots of shadows and even a terrified sidekick for the hero. The "monster" is very sympathetic and doesn't go through with the experiment that would cure him but cost the life of another; instead, he commits suicide (though the scene is so low key it's not easy to tell what's happening). Nice performance by Menta. who was a great admirer of Lon Chaney. It's a shame his television versions of classic horrors like PHANTOM OF THE OPERA seem to have vanished.
