Ricochet is a 1963 British crime film directed by John Llewellyn Moxey and starring Maxine Audley, Richard Leech and Alex Scott. [1] [2] Part of the long-running series of Edgar Wallace Mysteries films made at Merton Park Studios, it is based on the 1922 novel The Angel of Terror. [3] [4]
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Edgar Wallace's worldly, thinly ingenious story is here transposed to a contemporary suburban setting, rather effectively photographed under snow, and unimaginatively acted in the expressionless whisky-swilling convention of British second features. All the characters are pretty repulsive, and are allotted an appropriately nasty fate. Disbelief tends to dispel suspense, and the end is altogether too expected. The sound, though important to the plot, is rather over-recorded." [5]
