Synopsis: A woman is kidnapped and her identity is stolen by criminals attempting to collect her inheritance.
Review: Projected as part of the Edgar Wallace retrospective, this movie doesn't contain any of the Giallo elements seen in Sette Orchidee Machiate de Rosso, because it is much older. The story revolves around an inheritance and related kidnappings and murders in London, although 99% of the movie was actually shot in studios in Berlin. Most of the movie takes place in a kind of women prison, and the hunchback from the title is not really the main character. Definitely more Derrick than Suspiria...
Rating: 4 /10
