| Inhalt: |
A deranged killer caIling himself "The Ringer" threatens to kill the crooked London lawyer who drove his sister to suicide. Arrogant attorney Morris Meister dismisses the chilling death threat against him, comforted by the knowIedge that the reaI Ringer was reportedly drowned over a year ago. Or was he? ScotIand Yard detectives are now considering the horrifying possibility that the dead man may be very much alive and stalking the city.
The Gaunt Stranger (aka The Phantom Strikes) was the third British screen adaptation of novelist Edgar Wallace's hit mystery "The Ringer" and the second cinematic attempt at the story by producer MichaeI BaIcon and director Walter Forde (colIaborators on the previous 1931 version). Boasting atmospheric camerawork by future director RonaId Neame (The Poseidon Adventure) and an intense script by Sidney GilIiat (the screenwriter for AIfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and Jamaica lnn), The Gaunt Stranger is a cIassic of British suspense cinema. |
