Gem of 4 stars of Argentine cinema that qualifies with equal anxiety the paradox of men alike, the just and the unjust: that of Mr. Ulmer, a sick man incapable of fighting his Ego and avoiding his weakness for children, and the of a tax inspector, Dr. Bernard, no less weak than the one to prejudge the needy and beggars who are detained during the investigations, and even less to hide their emotional need for their condition of having an invalid wife and without children and trying to sexually abuse with Amalia Keite aka Rita! Viñoly Barreto proposed a very well cared version. The scene in the amusement park is enough where the Black Vampire rides Rita's daughter on the roller coaster, and suffers the abominable weight of her illness, perhaps experimenting with the criminal (what a performance that easily competes with Peter Lorre) falling apart in the feverish anguish to repress that pedophile instinct; to dive into this tape to receive the full electric charge of shame and helplessness from the murderer in Düsseldorf. The saying goes that the devil is in the details: comic, tragic, ironic and all three at the same time it was then that a blind man in the street, a simple homeless, who stopped before the detail of the whistle of the black Vampire. A Vampire who suffers the humiliations of his childhood and raptured by Edvard Grieg's "In the hall of the mountain king", commits his atrocities by whistling joyfully the chorus of Peer Gynt.
