(1963, aka DER ZINKER, Anamorphic Widescreen) Heinz Drache, Barbara Rütting, Günter Pfitzmann, Eddi Arent. In this excellent Edgar Wallace thriller, Scotland Yard investigates a series of grisly slayings in which the victims have died from the poison of a venomous snake. Is it a snake, or is it something far more sinister? Drache investigates. In English. From 35mm. PLUS: DER ZINKER (1931) Lissy Arna, Karl Ludwig Diehl, Fritz Rasp. Who is the mysterious stranger who informs Scotland Yard of future crimes by sending anonymous letters? Is he an unknown helper to the police or is he, himself, a psychotic killer? Interesting to compare this 1931 German film with the early ‘60s remake. In German with no subtitles, but it’s easy to figure out what’s going on. From 35mm
