It's a Sinister Saturday Night Special down in The Dungeon with another Edgar Wallace tale of woe, "Der Unheimliche Mönch," oder auf Englisch................................
........."The Sinister Monk!"
"We know where to find him, it's right about here, in London some place!"
And this would be the him in question! This is a story of cold-blooded murderer, and what happens after a young girl is murdered in a famous English boarding school.
"The Sinister Monk" has an all-star cast that includes:
Harald (The Brides Of Fu Manchu) Leipnitz as Inspector Bratt, the man who has to untangle the whole mess!
Perennial Dungeon favourite Karin Dor is Gwendolin Gilmore, the girl who inherited the money, because of course, there has to be a girl who inherits the money, and a seriously nasty family who all want to get their mitts on it!
"The entire country lives in terror. The newspapers call the mad killer "The Sinister Monk."
Dieter (Curse Of The Blood Ghouls) Eppler is Sir William.
There are a lot of Sirs in this film, but not many gentlemen!
"Who is "The Sinister Monk?"
Siegfried (Room 13) Schürenberg is back as Sir John, a role he would play for at least six more movies after this. "The Sinister Monk" was also the last of this series of Edgar Wallace films that was in black and white.
Und..........Last but not least is Eddi Arent as Smith, who if I counted correctly was in eighteen of these Edgar Wallace masterpieces!
Let us not forget the man who wrote this show, Mr. Edgar Wallace!
And his Co-star, the man who wrote the score, the always astounding, Maestro Peter Thomas!
