A mildly comic look at how various fairy tales would have worked out if written in the San Fernando valley. Remarkable only for an appearance of Martha Reeves, who supposedly didn't know that this was a softcore film.

The second in the series of films starring Rathbone as Holmes, and considered to be the best.

Journalist Andrea Bild (Franco Nero) is on the trail of a serial killer, but soon becomes suspected of the crimes by the police. His only way out is to find the murderer himself.

Slow to start, and just as it is showing promise, with a couple of genuine shocks, it throws it all away with a lame last third.

"There are two things I've not had enough of in this life, money and you Johnny."
Capt. Johnny Angel (George Raft) boards a deserted ship, where there have been signs of a struggle. It is his father's vessel, and the only clue is a French newspaper and a woman's shoe.
