This is an OK film. Vincent Price does his usual hammy bit, and if you like Price you will like the film, if you don't, you won't. This however, is far from his best film ("Theatre Of Death", "The Raven" and "The House On Haunted Hill" are a few that come to mind). What is interesting is Charles Bronson's presence in this film, he was badly miscast I can tell you, John Strock is probably one of the lightest roles that Bronson ever played in his career (Although most of his characters had some humor to them (Jack Murphy "Murphy's Law" comes to mind)). Perhaps only Josh Corey in You Can't Win 'Em All (Without question Bronson's WORST film), Graham in "From Noon Til Three" and Jay Killion in "Assassination" were lighter characters. There are other films that were lighter in scope ("Four For Texas" where he played Matson, comes to mind, but his character was nothing to laugh at or about). Basically watch it for Price, not Bronson.
