THE RINGER
(London Films)
HIS adaptation of Edgar Wallace’s well-known yarn is a neat mixture of' comedy and suspense, in the best British whodunit manner. It concerns a crooked lawyer (Herbert Lom) whom
the Ringer is determined. to kill in. revenge for a murder which can never be » proved in court against him. The Ringer is so mamed because he rings the changes on his disguises so well that the police can never discover his identity, and the audience have the task of spotting him from among a number of jlikely suspects. Donald Wolfit, Greta Gynt, William Hartnell, Mai Zetterling and Norman Wooland are the main characters who are brought together in the: lawyer’s house on the night the Ringer is expected to act. After much murky behaviour and unexpected happenings, the film ends with the Ringer getting his man, being unmasked by the police, and then escaping for South America. :
