Nylon Noose
I bought this only for the film Nylon Noose. The film is an early 60's West German-made, English-dubbed Edgar Wallace type mystery. A bunch of businessmen and businesswomen are gathered at an old mansion and start getting offed one-by-one by a mysterious assailant with the titular nylon noose. The exterior of the castle is great and the interior set are good and it even has some sort of dungeon with a lurking hulking disfigured Tor Johnson-type character. Not bad and typical with a good jazzy theme. The quality of the DVD is extremely good with a fine transfer. Recommended for fans of the Edgar Wallace-type mysteries.
