Review of The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) by Reggie W — 11 Sep 2013
A decent old-fashioned Holmes vs Moriarty murder mystery with George C. Scott as the detective & Kirk Douglas as a makeup-laden serial killer.
The narrative is quite slow in the middle but makes up for it in a climax in which many cameo stars appear in heavy makeup.
For it's time, the makeup effects are very good and the gimmick works quite well. Hitchcock would have made a masterpiece of this.
