The Dark Eyes of London
In one of the most effective examples of partition off Luxurious Guignol, Bela Lugosi is at his virulent best as the director of an insurance group who kills his clients so he can collect on their policies. Disguised as the kindly old proprietor of a profoundly towards the unconscious of, he carries out his nefarious swindles with the relief of a execrable titan. Based on an Edgar Wallace novel, this British-made shocker, directed by Walter Summers, is both bleak and remarkably unnerving for the epoch.
