These Hammer productions rarely overstay their welcome. The reliable Peter Cushing is the master of ceremonies. The set designs, as usual, are fitting to the cause and well done.
The screenplay is a bit of a mix of comedy and drama – it is competently made and has some added value with the casting of Finlay Currie and Hume Cronyn in supporting roles.
It oozes production values and is easy on the eye. Kristin and Colin Firth are two of the more consistent performers around and head a competent supporting cast.
