Films with Herbert Lom are all dreadful. I bailed out halfway through. I was expecting a decent mystery and instead we get amusing "antics". There is a touch of wit in the script:
"You don't look happy, Bliss."
"Know Mr Meister? Yeah, we went to different schools together!"
William Hartnell mugs frantically as the ex-con hired as a security expert, and Dora Bryan turns up as his wife. But they are given not much to do apart from over-act. Herbert Lom has his eye on his secretary, Mai Zetterling, who is in the UK illegally. This is nauseating rather than funny.
Greta Gynt turns up as the Ringer's wife, using her sneering "bad girl" voice. When she sounds like a lady, is she dubbed? Or vice versa? I love Greta, but even she couldn't make me stay as it all got sillier and sillier.
Donald Wolfit as a shabby scottish pathologist was unbearable, and his perving over Greta repulsive.
