Based on a novel by Bryan Edgar Wallace, this Franz Josef Gottlieb-directed and Ladislas Fodor-written movie takes place in a sex den in Soho, the Sanisbar, which is ruled over by wheelchair — and not just for respect — bound crime domme Joanna Filiati (Elisabeth Flickenschildt). There are a bunch of murders by someone in glittery gold gloves — this isn’t a Giallo! — and a skull mask, so Joanna is trying to hush it up and keep Scotland Yard off the case, as it will bring people running to arrest her.

Chief Inspector Hugh Patton (Dieter Borsche) and would-be Jessica Fletcher Clarinda Smith (Barbara Rütting) are on the case. This has film noir, jazzy clubs, plenty of fog and feels like London twenty years earlier more than Germany. There’s also a great camera move as the viewer is forced to spin along with the girl on a knife thower’s wheel. It might make you throw up your spätzle! This is what happens when a yacht called the Yolanda sinks and the survivors think they get away! Even better, this played in the U.S.!

This is part of the Terror In the Fog box set and has extras including a new introduction by genre film expert and Video Watchdog founder Tim Lucas and audio commentary by Kim Newman and Barry Forshaw. You can get it from MVD.
