The Scotland Yard Mystery

A classic thriller with a brilliantly macabre twist, The Scotland Yard Mystery is the story of the battle between a resourceful detective and a skilful and sinister swindler. Sexton Blake star George Curzon plays a doctor who uses his unique medical knowledge to mastermind a lucrative life-insurance scam; in a rare film role, legendary thespian Gerald du Maurier stars as the Metropolitan Police Commissioner who sets out to uncover the secret of five empty coffins and catch the villainous swine responsible for such depravities. Directed with characteristic verve by Thomas Bentley, The Scotland Yard Mystery is featured here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
