A strange, red circle appears on the neck of a man saved from the guillotine. What is its mysterious meaning? Tragically, it turns out to be something of a family curse, as each generation thereafter bears the same sign, which in turn leads to blackmail and murder.

Viewing Notes
aka The Crimson Circle
So many cool elements on display in a largely stuffy delivery. Like other krimi this has some pulpy moments that are hilarious to watch unfold. Yet they’re sandwiched between old men pontificating about the case, which has me fading out.
If they stuck to the pulp and camp and spectacle these krimi would all be amazing films.
