(1960, Upgraded 10/15/21) Renate Ewert, Klauss Wussow, Eddi Arent, Karl-Georg Saebisch, Thomas Alder, Edith Mill. A strange, red circle appears on the neck of a man saved from the guillotine. What is its mysterious meaning? Tragically, it turns out to be something of a family curse, as each generation thereafter bears the same sign, which in turn leads to blackmail and murder. This is a fine, atmospheric German Edgar Wallace thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat most of the way. From a great 35mm anamorphic widescreen print.
