Featured review
A sixty entry of Edward Wallace's series at London fog mystery-murder!!
This is the sixty of Edgar Walace's novel series adapted to screen by the Danish Rialto Film henceforth labeled as German Krimi, quite sure one the most structured plot even seen on 39 pictures made by them, right now the American amateur detective Larry Holt (Joachim Fuchsberger) already had raised on Scotland Yard as inspector meanwhile his butler-sidekick Sunny Harvey (Eddi Arent) as Sergeant when some bodies were found drowned at Thames river, Larry Holt in charge of investigation with the awkward Sunny, soon they find out that all dead men had a life insurance by Greenwich Assurance and Judd Bros. Ltda. Where the owner Stephen Judd (Wolfgang Lukschy) which had lost his brother-partner in a fatal death and he has been blackmailed by a mystery man.
Soon appears the beauty Nora Ward (Karin Baal) a former nurse that is able to read writing in braille at behest of Insp. Larry Holt concerning the unusual deaths, whereof the corpses contained so piece of papers in braille, turns off afterwards both have a mutual romance interest according the story is unfolding, further many witness describe to Insp. About a bulky-ugly-blind man (Ady Berber) that was carried out those crimes, instead as the forensic doctor wanted implied as simple drowning , also many hints come over as a white van often linked with the disappearance of the victims, mostly probable used by several laundries in London.
This movie grabs the audience by fear and mystery, the fog atmosphere in a wet London at night is replicated in this picture, also the bleak character of the newest Klaus Kinski that for now on appears on the plot, pay attention in a couple of macabre stage props as the skull cigarette holder and a scary black cat lighting up their eyes when the phone rings, plus Sgt. Sunny Harvey knitting at office, priceless and odd experience, fine story and well-draw up screenplay, something alike Sherlock Holmes-noirish style as well.
Thanks for reading.
