The Secret of the Red Orchid (1962)
I thought i'd rewatch this German Krimi starring Christopher Lee seeing as Severin are releasing it on Blu-ray as part of the second volume of Christopher Lee films.
Quite honestly it's dire. The English subtitles, lacking Lee's voice, are amusing to begin with but soon become tedious in the extreme and in truth i can't rememebr a thing about it despite only watching it last night other than it's set in London. It lacks suspense and... oh forget it. The only reason anyone might want to see this is an early staring role for lovely Marisa Mell.
I won't be wasting any money on the second Christopher Lee Eurocrypt set that's guaranteed.
