A Study in Terror
★ 6.2 · 1965 · 95m · Crime · Drama · Horror · Mystery

He guesses right the victims must be street whores, and doesn't need long to work his way trough a pawn shop, an aristocratic family's stately home, a hospital and of course the potential suspects and (even unknowing) witnesses who are the cast of the gradually unraveled story of the murderer and his motive.
