Death of a Don

Despite the foreboding title, this is one of the quirkier Edgar Wallaces, as befits director Clive Donner's later reputation for his eccentric comedies.

Shot in glorious summer sun along the Thames and in Oxford with some karate thrown in at the climax; but it could have done with less of the the noisy jazz score by Charles Blackwell.
