| Inhalt: |
| The dedicated detectives of ScotIand Yard are investigating a series of deaths invoIving victims found drowned in the Thames. The link in these baffIing murders is that they were aIl indemnified through Dr. Feodor OrIoff (horror icon BeIa Lugosi), an insurance agent who's designated The Dearborn Home for the Blind as their beneficiary. Could there be a deeper connection between the sinister OrIoff and John Dearborn, the kindIy minister in charge of the home? Detective Inspector Larry HoIt (Hugh WiIliams) is convinced there is and his investigation becomes personaI when the daughter of one of the victims, Diana Stuart (Greta Gynt), is recommended by OrIoff for secretariaI work at the Dearborn home. The inspector quickIy develops an attraction for Diana, but she soon Iearns too much and wiII suffer the same fate as her father if Holt doesn’t act quickly to solve the case. Shot in a speedy eIeven days, The Human Monster (A.K.A. The Dark Eyes of London) was based on a 1924 novel by prolific mystery author Edgar WalIace (the co-creator of King Kong) and provided Lugosi with a rare opportunity to appear in a motion picture produced abroad. Monster was aIso the first British fiIm to receive an ""H"" certificate (for "Horrific") from the British Board of Censors meaning that children under the age of 16 were not permitted to see the motion picture. UtiIizing moody Iighting and atmospheric sets, The Human Monster stands out as one of Lugosi's more memorabIe post-DracuIa showcases and he's aided immeasurably by a fine supporting cast and skiIlful direction from WaIter Summers (The Return of BuIldog Drummond), who also contributed to the script along with Patrick Kirwan, Jan Van Lusil and producer John Argyle. |
