With a title like The Horse Without a Head, you might anticipate all sorts of criminal thuggery, but no - this is actually a long forgotten Wonderful World of Disney episode. Set in France but (for reasons unknown) shot in Britain, the story revolves around petty criminal and traveling salesman Roublot (Help! and Rumpole of the Bailey's Leo McKern) and his bankrobbing entanglements with big time crime lord Schiapa (Herbert Lom, in top form). Jean-Pierre Aumont adds a genuine Gallic touch as Inspector Sinnet, the policeman in charge of the Schiapa case, and 12-year old Pamela Franklin (The Innocents) is here to provide young viewers with an identifiable adolescent. It all adds up to pretty typical fare for early sixties youngsters; adequate in its time but strictly a trip down memory lane now. Look for Peter Vaughan in a small role as a police sergeant.
