Trivia
Agatha Christie's original story was titled "Ten Little Niggers", which had previously been filmed under such official titles as El vengador invisible (1945) and Los Diez Condenados (1965). The source of the story went uncredited. Mario Bava did not care for that story, but his next feature, Bahía de sangre (1971), was practically a rewrite, on which he enjoyed total control.

Errores
At 66 minutes, a crew member can be seen holding the mirror that is causing the sun's reflection.

Citas
Nick Chaney: So what was I telling you?
Marie Chaney: That I'm a dirty whore. That's why I'm taking a shower... at least now I'll be a clean whore.

Bava and Edwige: A Winning Combination

Plot: (from IMDb) George Stark is a wealthy industrialist who invites five business friends of his to his remote Mediterranean island for a weekend of relaxation and business when he introduces them to Professor Farrell, a brilliant chemist who gives investment ideas to the group. But against Farrell's wishes, the group goes behind each other's back to obtain information on Farrell's chemistry ideas and soon the guests and residents start turning up dead one by one as Stark and Farrell must rally the group together to determine the identity of the killer (or killers) despite nobody trusting anyone.

Most people I know would list Five Dolls for an August Moon as among their least favorite film that Mario Bava made. Bava himself considered it his worst (I guess Bava never had the misfortune of watching his movie Dr. Goldfoot and the Girl Bombs). I, however, do not agree. It has a funky, late 60s/early 70s feel to it that I just love. Everything about the movie is the absolute height of fashion from that period. The clothes, the people, the house, the music, the attitudes, etc. can best be described as "groovy".

Those who like a lot of gore with their killings may be disappointed by all of the off-screen murders. The aftermath of a couple, however, are fairly gruesome. But those with a morbid sense of humor will get a kick out of watching the bodies pile-up in the freezer. Just imagine the sight of five or six bodies wrapped in plastic being placed on meat hooks one at a time in a freezer while accompanied by some less than appropriate music. I just love it. Another plus for Five Dolls for an August Moon is the presence of Edwige Fenech. Similar to what I stated when writing about The Case of the Bloody Iris, Edwige makes any movie a better movie.
