Edgar Wallace became a British crime writer, journalist and playwright, who proceeded to write 175 works of fiction between 1898 and 1932. In 1959, Nat Cohen together with Stuart Levy, directors of distributor Anglo Amalgamated (United kingdom), attained the movie legal rights for the complete collection. Over the subsequent four years (1960 - 64) 40 Tales of Edgar Wallace stories were filmed. Because they have been shown as The Edgar Wallace Mystery Hour US TV and as well been used in the UK as late night tv shows many tv audiences believe that the Edgar Wallace mysteries had been made for tv

However they were originally produced for the cinema screen mainly shown prior to the main feature film

Produced at Merton Park Studios in South West London, the mystery films had been of the low-budget known as B movies shot in the space of 2-3 weeks in the studios and surrounding area primarily British actors who were paid on a daily basis quite a lot of actors began there career with Merton park studios and moved to greater and better things.

The Responsible for producing the mysteries went to Jack Greenwood who had worked on very similar productions such as the Scotland Yard series (1953-61) introduced by by Edgar Lustgarten. The Edgar Wallace films are also remembered for their atmerferic starting theme music man of misery on the slow turning bust of Edgar Wallace himself even though less than half of the films originally opened like this it sure did make you settle down in your seat.

The first film to go in the film tin was The Clue of the Twisted Candle starring Bernard Lee, this, like all of Wallace tales had to be modernised to bring it line for the 1960s target audience as most of the mysteries were written around 1916 and not all the story's were original written Edgar Wallace mysteries

The last movie to be filmed under the Tales of Edgar Wallace was Face of a Stranger in 1964. Many British stars appeared throughout the series including Harry H. Corbett, Paul Daneman, Jack Hedley, Patrick Allen, Michael Gough, Alfred Burke, John Le Mesurier, Jack Wattling, Rosemary Leach, Dawn Addams and others, many appearing in more than one film.

The Nat Cohen and Stuart Levy contract was also shared with german companyRialto who also obtained film rights from the Edgar Wallace Judging by eBay Edgar Wallace mysteries still appear to be very popular

And there is a box set of the mysteries available in german but not here in the uk to date

They have been shown on bravo a classic movie channel from time to time as a tv series and there are forums on the Internet asking for box set to be realised

But I know of only a few DVD realised .

If you get a chance of watching a Edgar Wallace mystery your to be in for a treat there nothing quite like a car chase when you watch a triumph herald at full throttle given chace to a Morris Oxford with the police in hot peruse in the black police cars with there bell what does sound a little like my alarm clock

Pure nostalgia I just love it.

i think i have all the mysteries but you never know they seem to keep popping up!

i have other old classic films what i will add to the site
