With a cast like this, this film should've been one of the best Hammer films of the 70's. Unfortunately a weak ending and an unlikeable lead character ( Widmark ), make this a more humdrum affair. Thankfully a lot of great UK actors are in this film ( Lee, Valentine, Blackman and Elliott, to name a few ), to make this an enjoyable movie for the British viewer. Hard not to mention the fact that Nastassja Kinski was 14/15 when making this film, her scenes wouldn't happen now I think.
