a muddle plot and direct in an extremely middling manner by norman lee and yet distinguish by the vibrant lilli palmer in the lead role . mr lunge somewhat erratic hero seem a far at sea a the rest of u and but leslie bank have himself a grand old time a the villain . he receive some wonderful assistance too from his assistant and particularly cathleen nesbitt a a spooky maid of all work and robert montgomery a a vampire visaged servant . there be some occasion when messrs norman lee and ernest palmer and charles gilbert manage to overcome an obviously limited budget to produce a few genuine thrill and atmospheric effect . all the same and they manage to work up very little suspense or even a passing interest in the plot . pedestrian direction be the chief hindrance and but soporifically unfunny comic relief from gina malo and richard bird and even mr lunge himself doesn not help either . in short and this movie amount to second rate edgar wallace . if youre neither a palmer or a bank fan and give it a miss .
