Your thought is correct. Homicidal from 1961. Joan Marshall who was credited in this film for whatever reason as being Jean Artless is the actress who appears in my posted knife wielding image.

Will these two new images be difficult to answer? Let us wait and see how challenging they may or not be.

Correct. Lucky you, and how was the viewing experiencc?  

 

dedeposter

The BluRay, like all recent Warner Archive presentations was amazing. Probably looked better than when it was first exhibited, also included a commentary track (I always listen to those).

saulgoodman

Good to know. Another one to add to the list. I added it to my want list on Amazon. I can’t justify paying 40 bucks for a blu ray. Will wait till it comes on sale.

dedeposter

I'd suggest waiting until Black Friday, also subscribe to MovieZyng emails, they're actually the prime distributor for Warner Archive titles, and usually have a birthday sale for the archive.

But I just checked, and Amazon have The Beast With Five Fingers BluRay for US$12.99 (but only for delivery within the US), if you know someone who lives there and could send it on to you.

A clue then to hopefully assist you to come up with the answer is oriental.

HONDO

Another clue for 317 is pre code.

dedeposter

It's on the tip of my tongue and I'm going to scream when you reveal the answer! I'm sure I've seen this recently.

HONDO

A final clue for 317 is Peter Sellers.

dedeposter

That's what I was thinking of!

Is it The Mysterious Dr Fu Manchu (1929)?

No it isn't, but you are oh so ever close.

dedeposter

Well then, it's the "Return of Dr FuManchu" (1930) - I watched them both on the Kino BluRay recently, knew it was one of them.

Sorry to disappoint you Peter but it isn't that film either. You are so close with your thinking though that I am so surprised that you haven't yet come up with the correct answer.

saulgoodman

Fiendish plot of fu Manchu?

HONDO

It isn't that film either. I am sure someone will surely come up with the correct answer seeing how close the answers have been.

dedeposter

Ah!  The mask of fu manchu (1932) - with Boris Karloff - another Warner Archive BluRay that was recently restored.

We got there in the end to finding the answer for 317, The pre code film has been called ''nasty''by many as it contains sadistic torture, sexual situations and outright racism.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
( Everyones / Trove original Australian newspaper advertisements).
.Note on the image above on the right hand side the downgradng of the billing of Boris Karloff. 

dedeposter

Yes, the film is pretty out there!
