    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This was the first American International release to be in both color and CinemaScope.
    • Quotes
      • Bancroft: No woman can hold her tongue. They're a vicious, unreliable breed!
    • Alternate versions
      The original UK cinema version was cut heavily by the BBFC to edit scenes of gore including the ice tongs stabbing, a man's body sinking into an acid bath, sounds of screaming during the binocular murder and shots of a woman's decapitated head being placed into a bag (a proposed cut to the shot of the bloodstained binoculars was never made). Later releases all feature the same cut print and it appears this footage may now be lost forever.
