Clifford Evans and Marne Maitland
1 April 2011
"Death's Door" is another Philip Levene classic, featuring Hammer veteran Clifford Evans ("Dial a Deadly Number" and "Whoever Shot Poor George Oblique Stroke XR40?") as Sir Andrew Boyd, head of the British delegates for a top secret conference, whose premonitions of death become reality as he is struck by a passing car and killed, just as he mysteriously predicted. Things take an even darker turn when Lord George Melford (Allan Cuthbertson, "The Deadly Air," "Death at Bargain Prices," and "Super Secret Cypher Snatch") takes his place and begins to suffer the same kind of nightmares. Wonderfully atmospheric story, aided by a sterling cast, especially the menacing Marne Maitland, best remembered as Scaramanga's munitions manufacturer in the 1974 Jmaes Bond feature "The Man with the Golden Gun." Also featuring William Lucas ("Invasion of the Earthmen"), Paul Dawkins ("Death on the Slipway" and "Death a La Carte"), Peter Thomas ("Small Game for Big Hunters" and "All Done with Mirrors"), and William Lyon Brown ("Fog").
