Production [edit]
The motion-picture show is based on the 1924 novel The Dark Eyes of London by Edgar Wallace,[i] which had been previously adjusted into the 1939 British moving-picture show The Dark Optics of London, a.g.a. The Human Monster, introducing a number of horror elements which had not been in the original book. The British moving-picture show had been released in Federal republic of germany and proved to exist popular. The High german film is closer to being a remake of the earlier British film, rather than a close adaptation of Wallace's novel.
The Expressionless Optics of London was the first Edgar Wallace film to exist directed by Alfred Vohrer, who directed 13 more films in the genre.
Reception [edit]
The FSK gave the film a rating of "16 and up" and found it not appropriate for screenings on public holidays. The moving-picture show premiered on 28 March 1961 at the "Walhalla" cinema in Wiesbaden.[two] Author and film critic Leonard Maltin awarded the moving picture 2 out of four stars, calling the film "[an] Acceptable thriller".[3]
