SECRET OF THE RED ORCHID 1962 (RETROMEDIA)

Pretty good "krimi".

"Krimi" is German for crime or mystery in a film or book. This is based on the Edgar Wallace novel "When The Gangs Came To London" and it stars Christopher Lee in his second "krimi" , Klaus Kinski, Adrian Hoven and the always sexy Marisa Mell.

People are offered protection by a group calling themselves "Patrons of the Rich" and if they don't pay they are brutally murdered. Lee knows that the gang is run by a Chicago mobster he ran out of the States, and soon the chase is on. This is a very good and well made story and if you are a fan of Edgar Wallace material, you'll like this.
