this gem of a tv movie have the boris karloff stamp all over it and together with usual atmospheric lighting and production bestow upon a british tv thriller it make for compel view . it be nice to see that after a long and successful film career in the u that mr karloff decide to return to the land of his birth and make not only this film and but also others like curse of the crimson altar which be show on the big screen in the late sixty and which be now show regularly in britain on television . his performance in the veil be up to his usual standard . what be particularly interesting be the many character he play in this film . he tackle them all the weird and the wise and the perfectly normal . robert hardy too should get a mention for an early performance which show the promise of what be to come in british television . by the way the year be either 1963 or 1964. i use to know but can not be sure and now .
