This was the only movie produced by "Charlemagne Films," which was created by Sir Christopher Lee and Anthony Nelson Keys.

Goofs
When Joan Foster speaks about the tape recording to Sir Mark in the boathouse, where he is carrying out an autopsy on the dead trustees, Sir Mark is clearly sampling parts of an real dead octopus rather than a prop human organ.

Quotes
Sir Mark Ashley: The nature of the killing points to one thing: ritual murder.

One of 22 Movies With Cushing & Lee

Rich men are dying, with no especial connection save they are all trustees for a young girl. Colonel Christopher Lee thinks that's the connection, so he contacts Peter Cushing, because they haven't made a movie together in a month.

Diana Dors appear is this movie, looking a trifle pudgy, alas. She's the mother of the girl, fresh out of prison, ten years after committing a triple murder. Newspaper woman Georgia Brown is trying to get the trust broken, because everyone's in favor of mother love, aren't they? But why did a bus driver die, burnt to a crisp in a bus crash, when there was no fire?

It's a nicely produced movie, but it holds few surprises in its story for the modern viewer. The casting is pretty good, with Michael Gambon giving his second big-screen appearance, but the genre was getting pretty tired by this point.
