The Grohmann's are perhaps a little dodgy at times, but they're enjoyable enough. I have often overlooked this film, favouring the versions from 19, but I've judged this film too harshly, it's a cracking film, the acting for the most part is excellent, the performances of Stanley Holloway and Wilfrid Hyde-White are just wonderful, they each have an abundance of charisma. It is a very attractive looking film, great scenery, a wealth of attractive people including Shirley Eaton, Daliah Lavi, Hugh O'Brian and Fabian. The setting is switched to the Alps, it manages somewhat to create a level of claustrophobia, intensified by Grohmann's demise. Ten guests are assembled by UN Owen high up in the snow capped Mountains, in a beautiful remote house, one by one they die.
