One Castle's strangest movies , set in a Swiss boarding school and American , Chinese Ambassy , though actually shot in Big Bear Lake, Big Bear Valley, and Lake Arrowhead, San Bernardino National Forest, California . An amusing movie with thrills , tension , intrigue , chuckles , twists and turns . This is an Euro-spy and a teen movie more than a typical spook opera from Castle who often used a lot of gimmicks , this time , only one : spectators in the theater were given lottery cards for a chance to win a gift or a prize . Dealing with thirteen girls and particularly starred by Kathy Dunn as intrusive Candace Hull giving a very sympathetic acting as the meddling teen stirring up serious problem on her vacation as she messes with the diplomatic affairs of their elders and get into trouble when a Russian spy is discovered killed . Castle held a worlwide talent search to find his stars , this time Kathy Dunn , for whom this was first and no doubt last movie. Along other known actors as Murray Hamilton , Hugh Marlowe , with Khigh Dhiegh cleverly cast as a sinister Ambassador , as he played a similar and unforgettable role in The Manchurian candidate . Adding a group of charming adolescents , some of them to be continued a cinematic career as Judy Pace and Alexandra Bastedo .
This juvenile , cute motion picture was professionally directed by William Castle . He was an expert craftsman with some of the all-time great schlock names serving as the producer Sam Katzman and fondness for gimmicks as proved in his successful terror films such as : House of haunted hill , The Tingler , Mr Sardonicus , Strait-jacked , Homicidal , Macabre and 13 Ghosts . Castle emulated Alfred Hitchcock , this included the practice of appearing in the trailers, and even making cameo appearances in his films . Furthermore , he made several Westerns such as : 1955 Duel on the Mississippi , 1955 The Gun That Won the West ,1955 El Americano , 1954 Masterson of Kansas , 1954 The Law vs. Billy the Kid , 1954 Jesse James vs. The Daltons , 1954 Battle of Rogue River , 1953 Fort Ti , 1951 cave of outlaws. Rating : 6/10, acceptable and passable , being one of Castle's weirdest movies . A side-splitting vintage picture awaiting rediscovery.
