Based on the Gamesmanship series by Stephen Potter. Although the film only credits its producer, Hal E. Chester, and Patricia Moyes for the screenplay, it was co-written by Peter Ustinov and Frank Tarloff. Its director, Robert Hamer, was sacked during filming due to his return to drinking and the enterprise was completed by Chester and an (uncredited) Cyril Frankel. Hamer did not work in the film industry again, and died in 1963.
Great fun movie and one of my favourites from that period, along with 'Two-Way Stretch'.Quote:

Though the film received mixed reviews from critics, it was commercially successful, with a worldwide gross of over $545 million. A third film was originally set for release on December 22, 2021, with Downey and Law set to return, although its status is uncertain.

I think the 'antique mirror' story is from "From Beyond the Grave", the last of the Amicus anthology horror fims. It is the first of four stories, and is called 'The Gatecrasher':Quote:

Later the figure's face appears in the mirror and orders Charlton to kill so that he can "feed". Charlton butchers people until the apparition is able to manifest himself outside the mirror. The figure then explains that Charlton must do one more thing before the figure can walk abroad and join others like him. The figure says he will take Charlton "beyond the ultimate" and persuades Charlton to kill himself by impaling himself on a knife. The mirror stays in Charlton's flat for years after his death, until the latest owner also decides to hold a seance. Charlton's hungry spectre appears in the mirror.
