Il pugnale siamese

In 1959 production company Rialto started the long-running Edgar Wallace series; in 1961 producer Arhur Brauner decided to start his own series, that is: a series based on stories by Wallace's son. Of the Brauner series this is episode number 1.

Werner Klingler's direction was always one of the good routine and is the best for this kind of film. It is simply old-fashioned but good entertainment with a story complicated enough to keep the interest, and nice cast. And of course it ends with the necessary subterranean labyrinth.
