Scotland Yard detectives hunt for a dangerous criminal who has recently returned to England.[1] The film was based on an Edgar Wallace story The Gaunt Stranger, the basis for his play The Ringer.[2] Forde remade the same story in 1938 as The Gaunt Stranger. There was also a silent film of The Ringer in 1928, and a 1952 version starring Donald Wolfit. [3]It was made at Beaconsfield Studios.[4] Cast
Critical receptionThe New York Times wrote, "at the Cameo is a picturization of the late Edgar Wallace's play The Ringer. This film, which hails from England, is the sort of melodrama that provides more amusement than excitement";[5] while in The BFI Companion to Crime, Phil Hardy wrote, "this is the best version of this oft-filmed play...Directed by Forde with a slickness and pace unusual in British films of the period, especially considering the film's stage origins...Hokum, but enjoyable."[6]References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/48431|title=The Ringer|work=BFI}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shotsmag.co.uk/feature_view.aspx?FEATURE_ID=45|title=Past Masters: EDGAR WALLACE|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://networkonair.com/shop/1822-edgar-wallace-presents-the-ringer-5027626398248.html|title=Network ON AIR > Edgar Wallace Presents: The Ringer|publisher=|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20151007233528/http://networkonair.com/shop/1822-edgar-wallace-presents-the-ringer-5027626398248.html|archivedate=7 October 2015|df=dmy-all}} 4. ^Wood p.73 5. ^{{cite newspaper |url=https://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9807E1DC133EE633A25751C0A9609C946394D6CF|title=Movie Review: Sari Maritza, a Continental Film Favorite, in Her First American Picture, a Drama of Soviet Russia |newspaper=New York Times | author=Mordaunt Hall |date=June 2, 1932 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=MLm-dlJ-fLAC&pg=PA289&lpg=PA289&dq=the+ringer+edgar+wallace+bfi+companion+to+crime&source=bl&ots=cbnaRQ4yMV&sig=BEQArqdyFndBSyZZXIeZnPWAWIw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=cRGrVIWFMIa3UYqkgLAL&ved=0CCEQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=the%20ringer%20edgar%20wallace%20bfi%20companion%20to%20crime&f=false|title=The BFI Companion to Crime|publisher=}} Bibliography
