This book was so good. It made me laugh, cry, and remember how strong human beings can be. I can't imagine what it could have been like to grow up in France during Hitler's reign, to lose loved ones that way and to have to...survive being scared that someone was going to take your children or worse, your life. Both Isabelle and Vivian were such strong women, willing to do the right things even when they could get them killed. I enjoyed both of their stories and they both touched me in different ways, I can't even say how much.

Books like this remind me that while human beings can be fragile creatures, we are also resilient, strong and most importantly, survivors. Great story, I could read it again tomorrow!

Indisputably the best of the Vincent Price 'madman on a vengeful killing spree' movies from the early 70s, allowing Price to give full reign to his remarkable talents. Ham actor Edward Lionheart gets his own back on pretentious critics by performing various gory Shakespearean scenes for real; this gives him the opportunity to disguise himself as such diverse characters as a chef, a policeman, Butch the gay hairdresser, and many more; Price is having a whale of a time throughout, as you'd expect.

Notable also for an astonishingly good cast of British character actors, most of whom are only in a couple of scenes before they get murdered. Consistently witty and inventive, even a little moving in parts as well. Point knocked off for not letting Price get away with it!
