This film was the first German-Italian collaboration as part of the West German Edgar Wallace series, which unfortunately didn't work out particularly well (yet). Long-winded plot, bad tricks and old-fashioned equipment fail to captivate. Even in West German cinemas, only 600,000 viewers (source: InsideKino) wanted to see the film.
The opulent cast is interesting: Klaus KINSKI (in an unusual role), Margaret LEE, Christiane KRÜGER (daughter of GOLDEN GLOBE nominee Hardy KRÜGER), Sydney CHAPLIN, Günther STOLL! The music by Nora ORLANDI, whose singing voice can also be heard, is beautiful.
Only recommended for die-hard Edgar Wallace fans!
