This has got to be the low water mark of all the Hammer pre horror films. Lloyd Nolan must have been really desperate to accept this film. Still he didn't have to over exert himself. This film commences with torpor and concludes with lethargy..
There are some excellent actors in the cast. Roger Delgado,who would find fame with Dr Who,George Woodbridge as an amiable policeman,and last but not least Finlay Currie,trying painfully hard,without success,to disguise his Scottish accent with a rather awful attempt at a Spanish accent.
It is bad enough that nothing of interest happens at the begining but it draws to a close with a whimper.
