- TriviaThe telephone played an important role in The Edgar Wallace Mystery series. However, the standard British phone ring of the day comprised two steady rings with a cadence of 0.4 sec on, 0.2 sec off, 0.4 sec on, then 2 sec off. Presumably, to save time and inject a sense of urgency into the proceedings, British telephone rings in both this and many other presentations of the day were frequently speed-up, sometimes to twice the normal rate.
- Alternate versionsIn US each episode was cut to 45 minutes to fit hour-long commercial TV slots.
Featured review
Very Good 1960s Mystery Film/TV Series
I remember my dad watching The Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre on Australian TV in the 1960s along with the Perry Mason series. I also saw some installments on the big screen at the cinema as a second feature during the 1960s. Excellent production values, sets, top actors and sharp cinema quality black and white photography. Very good scripts with each episode having a good twist in the tail. The series is currently being repeated on early morning free to air TV in Australia. Still stands up as a good mystery anthology series and well worth a view.
