FAQ
One of the makeups meant to be Kirk Douglas is clearly Jan Merlin. Does anyone know why Merlin was substituted for Douglas? Was Douglas' skin sensitive after wearing makeup so long that someone else needed to stand in for him?more

An engaging mystery with a splendid cast. Nothing phenomenally clever, but still a treat for those who love puzzles and riddles. There are perhaps details that could have been better handled (like Scott's initial reactions when he discovers that the killer has finally "introduced" himself - not to give anything away, but for a while he seems a bit apathetic), but it's hard to complain when you know that this kind of mystery will never be seen again.
