¿Sabías que…?
- TriviaBritish actor Robert Montgomery (IX) is listed on the opening credits of the American version as "R. Montgomery" so as not to confuse audiences with better known and very popular USA actor Robert Montgomery (I). 2nd billed Lilli Palmer is given starring billing as Lili [sic] Palmer, followed by Banks, Malo and Montgomery. No other cast members are mentioned, not even Romilly Lunge, billed 3rd in the original UK version, but apparently ignored by the USA distributors who were unfamiliar with his name.
- ErroresOn his death-bed Lord Selford says he is fifty-five years old. When on his tombstone the date of his death (1928) and birth (1872) equates to 56.

Don't Lock Up the Cows for This One... ;=8)
"The Door with 7 Locks", aka "The Chamber of Horrors", is a mildly entertaining, quaint little English mystery from the early 40's. An eccentric old coot passes away, leaving his deformed son as heir to an estate, but locks up the family jewels in his tomb, cowplete with a door with 7 locks. Various family members/servants/gawkers try to embezzle the loot and get away with murder. Lovely snugglebunny Lilli Palmer, fresh from Canada, comes to make her claim on the loot, along with buddy Romilly Lunge from Scotland Yard. The evil Dr. Manetta, his pet monkey, and his mute Spanish servant almoost rule the day! Manetta has ancestors from the Spanish Inquisition(Nooooobody expects...), and he cowlects grisly little torture devices and poisoned chalices. This is a fun little flick, despite the cliches - Manetta dresses like Fu Manchu on downers, the plot twists are obvious, and the characters seldom rise above 2 dimentional. Still, the film is brisk, the cinematography excellent, and the setting and mood are cowvincing enough to forgive these udder oversights. Snuggly Lilli Palmer only worked in 6 decades-worth of moovie making, had her own tv show in the 50's, twice, and even married Rex Harrison. The MooCow says this dusty old flick deserves moore attention; find it and rent it soon! ;=8)
