THE SEVENTH VICTIM (1964)
Directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb
93 minutes
"A series of murders at a race track. A dead man who appears to come back alive to seek revenge years after his execution. Thanks to Franz Josef Gottlieb's superior direction, THE RACETRACK MURDERS is the best of all Bryan Edgar Wallace adaptations, a true gem of a Krimi [German crime film]…. Gottlieb loves long sweeping camera movements and bizarre angles. We see a fight scene filmed through the legs of the fighters; reflections captured in pools of rain; [and] the exciting atmosphere at a race course including the bookmakers' bizarre secret hand communication." –Holger Haase, HALLO, HIER SPRICHT…
