Viewing Notes
The best thing about this movie is the lurid poster. Otherwise it’s a pretty boring take on something that had a lot of potential. Donald Pleasence’s inspector character is so bizarre that you can’t even laugh at it; you just kind of stare blankly at the screen and ask yourself “WTF”?
Christopher Lee makes a single appearance, in which he steals the scene of course, as some MI5 director whose involvement in the film and plot baffling.
