Decent outing from Hammer films, 18 December 2004
5/10
Author: natewatson from United States

Terence Fisher, Jimmy Sangster and Christopher Lee teamed up yet again in this Hammer Films outing. This was a remake of the 1945 movie "The Man in Half Moon Street" and has absolutely nothing to do with "The Picture of Dorian Gray". Hazel Court is also on hand once again. She actually did a topless scene available in much of Europe but was cut from the US and UK prints. Anton Diffring is not at his most effective in this film. This is really only for devotees of Hammer and Christopher Lee - who has a new generation of fans thanks to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy and George Lucas' last 2 Star Wars films.
