Edgar Wallace Mysteries
Overview
The Edgar Wallace Mysteries was a British second-feature film series, produced at Merton Park Studios for Anglo-Amalgamated. There were 46 films in the series, made between 1960 and 1965. The films were loose adaptations of Edgar Wallace's books and stories. Very few used his original titles, and there was no attempt to set them in the period in which Wallace wrote, probably to obviate the need for elaborate costumes and sets. A 1962 article in Scene magazine quotes £22,000 as the budget for an episode then in production.
This production, originally released in 1959, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Mystery, Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 7.0 across its 10 seasons.
