A kindhearted and highly cultured gentleman, the Oxford-educated James Lee Wong was probably closer to the real Boris Karloff than any other character he was given to play and certainly closer than the hideous monsters that made his career. With careful and deliberate consideration, Mr. Wong always managed to trap the killer but in this entry the careful deliberation became almost as dull as watching paint dry. Director William Nigh was never more listless than here; people talk s-l-o-w-l-y and events unfold with an almost funereal pace. Nearly all the red herrings have been killed off by the time Mr. Wong is ready to unmask the killer, whose identity therefore comes as no big surprise.
