#an Italian west german coproduction and loose adaptation of an Edgar Wallace property; one of a series made by the German Rialto Film
#production company. director Freda (who had been responsible for I Vampiri a decade earlier‚ Italy's first sound horror film) worked from a
#story initially set up by one of his successors‚ Lucio Fulci‚ tho a series of rewrites changed the film into something very different (and
#bitterly disliked by Fulci). Freda was also responsible for getting Kinski onboard‚ tho this didn't translate into a good working
#relationship: the two hated one another and Freda dubbed the notoriously difficult Kinski as the Crown Prince of Assholes
#anyway. this is a minor giallo krimi blend with some outrageously cheap production elements and dismal special fx‚ but the plot (despite
#the numerous rewrites) is actually kind of solid. the connection to Wallace is p much entirely manufactured but that's ok
#it's kind of in keeping with the man's legacy; most Wallace adaptations post 1960 are in name only potboilers and this is really no
#different (excepting the Italian connection).
