What a terrific thriller this black and white film was. An excellent cast followed the serial killer through a taut plot with many twists and turns. The plot is the thing! But I would say it could do with a remake.
Watching a black and white film does not make it less exciting than watching a colour film with wide screen. The acting by the murderer was particularly good, and the young hero, a bus conductor, came to the fore near the exciting end. I don't recall seeing the actress who played the murderer's mother before, but she was also very good.
One thing - where did they get all those hundreds of policemen from? And didn't London look very different in those days!
