Wissenswertes
British actor Robert Montgomery (IX) is listed on the opening credits of the American version as "R. Montgomery" so as not to confuse audiences with better known and very popular USA actor Robert Montgomery (I). 2nd billed Lilli Palmer is given starring billing as Lili [sic] Palmer, followed by Banks, Malo and Montgomery. No other cast members are mentioned, not even Romilly Lunge, billed 3rd in the original UK version, but apparently ignored by the USA distributors who were unfamiliar with his name.

Patzer
On his death-bed Lord Selford says he is fifty-five years old. When on his tombstone the date of his death (1928) and birth (1872) equates to 56.

The mystery of the Door with Seven Locks

Chamber of Horrors is an entertaining British horror/mystery from 1940. I have the VCI edition of this on video which I had ordered from the US.

A series of murders at a creepy mansion are connected to the secret of a door which has seven keys to it and nobody has opened for a while. A young woman tries to solve this mystery and all is revealed towards the end when the door is opened... Includes a mute butler and a mad doctor who collects items used for torture. Also a thunderstorm.

Though not a lot of action in this movie, it is quite creepy and atmospheric at times.

The cast includes Leslie Banks (The Most Dangerous Game, The Tunnel) and Lilli Palmer.

Chamber of Horrors is worth a look if you get the chance. A good old mystery.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
