(1966) Christopher Lee, Leo Genn, Anthony Newlands, Heinz Drache, Margaret Lee, Eddi Arent, Klaus Kinski. The plot begins with a botched heist that ends with one of the criminals shooting a police officer. The shooter is given the chance to go and give the boss his share before being allowed to flee the country; but unfortunately, he is murdered upon his arrival at the meeting place. The action then switches to the local circus where is believed that the identity of the murderer will be revealed. There we are introduced to a whole host of shady and mysterious characters... Interesting to hear Drache and Arent actually speaking English for a change. Gorgeous color, from 35mm.
