  1. Von #EdgarWallace stammt übrigens die erste Schilderung eines Mordes mit #Kaviar in der Literaturgeschichte.

  2. To Have and to Hold (1963), A British Edgar Wallace B-movie scripted by Jimmy Sangster. A cop gets involved with a woman who thinks he ex wants to kill her. Stretches credibility just a tad at times but overall enjoyable and nicely twisted.

  3. Act of Murder (1964), a British Edgar Wallace B-movie, involves a romantic triangle and from the start the plot twists come thick and fast. A psychological thriller with lots of paranoia and a pleasingly hard-edged nasty streak. Great stuff.

  4. We Shall See, a 1964 British Edgar Wallace thriller with some nasty emotional betrayals and twisted relationships. At the centre is a woman who thinks everyone hates her. Turns out to be more interesting and quirky than you expect. Good film.

  5. The Strange Countess (1961) an early entry in the German Rialto Edgar Wallace krimi cycle. There's dirty work afoot in a castle. A first-rate krimi with a definite gothic horror vibe, hints of madness and some nods to German Expressionism.

  6. The Terror, based on a 1938 Edgar Wallace play, owes quite a bit to the Old Dark House genre so popular at the time.

    It starts with a daring gold robbery. Later two of the thieves (including the great Alastair Sim) think they've been cheated. Then there's a series of murders at a country house.

    A lighthearted mystery romp. Lots of fun.
