Not really a "horror" film, this one seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle over the years, though it obviously has its fans. Hammer did a fine job here of maximizing the budget for sets and costumes - it all looks fine, especially Hazel Court! Anton Diffring was never the most engaging of leading men, but some of that remoteness actually works in favor of the character here, though perhaps there's a bit too much at times. Hammer's big mistake here was transferring the setting of the story from London to Paris - we know that Bonner and Dr. Weiss (Arnold Marne, who walks off with the acting honors, by the way) are from Germany or Austria, so there's no problem about their accents - but everyone else jolly well speaks with veddy British accents! Perhaps that's why, three years later, Hammer transferred PHANTOM OF THE OPERA from Paris to London...
