ABOVE AVERAGE FOR TYPE...EARLY HAMMER BORROWING FROM POPULAR BBC RADIO
19 August 2021
Stealing From Radio was a Common Occurrence in the Movies and Television.

This Early Hammer Studios Rendition of a Popular BBC Radio Series is Very Well Done with Excellent Costumes, Make-Up, Acting, and Sets.

The Studio seems to be Firing on All Cylinders with this Effort.

It is a Harbinger of the Style and Success that Hammer would be come Known for After its Break-Through in the Mid 50's.

The Acting is Above Average for this Type of Thing.

And the Snappy Script Keeps Things Hopping and the Two Females that "Gaslight" are Creepy and Loathsome.

Sidney James has a Dual Role.

The Ending is a one of Surprise.

But some may Find it was Telegraphed in the First-Act.

One of the Better of its Type. Worth a Watch to See Early Hammer at Work and for the Overall Production that is Above Average.
