Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Both Scotland Yard and an amateur American sleuth are tracking a master criminal known as The Frog. This moniker refers to the bulging-eyed mask worn by the evildoer, and is reflected by the frog icons painfully tatooed onto the forearms of his henchmen. The trail leads to the country manor of an enigmatic, steely-eyed nabob, whose repressed son has eyes for the artistes at the Lolita cabaret, and whose lovely daughter captures the fancy of both the American playboy and the villain himself. Murder, kidnapping and seduction ensue.

Viewing Notes
aka The Face of the Frog
Considered to be the first Krimi so it’s perfect for Crime November. I like a lot of this but it also feels a little disjointed especially when the focus is not on the Frog. But I’d love to have this and the other krimi films in a stacked set.
