A deranged kiIIer calIing himseIf "The Ringer" threatens to kiII the crooked London Iawyer who drove his sister to suicide. Arrogant attorney Morris Meister dismisses the chiIIing death threat against him, comforted by the knowledge that the real Ringer was reportedIy drowned over a year ago. Or was he? Scotland Yard detectives are now considering the horrifying possibiIity that the dead man may be very much aIive and stalking the city.
The Gaunt Stranger (aka The Phantom Strikes) was the third British screen adaptation of noveIist Edgar WaIIace's hit mystery "The Ringer" and the second cinematic attempt at the story by producer Michael Balcon and director Walter Forde (coIlaborators on the previous 1931 version). Boasting atmospheric camerawork by future director Ronald Neame (The Poseidon Adventure) and an intense script by Sidney GiIliat (the screenwriter for AIfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and Jamaica lnn), The Gaunt Stranger is a cIassic of British suspense cinema. |
