200 Dr Blood's Coffin ( 1961 )

This independently-made British film  isn't short of gore and the ending is entertainingly preposterous but it doesn't half take a long time to get going. I think the problem might be the location. The  coastal scenery  around  St  Just  is  terrific  and  the  characters  spend  too  long  just  walking  around  it.

Peter  Blood  ( Kieron  Moore )  is  an  arrogant  young  doctor  kicked  out  of  medical  school  in  Vienna  for  unethical  experiments  in  heart  transplants. He  shows  up  in  a  Cornish  village  where  his  father  ( Ian  Hunter )  has  a  practice  and  secretly  continues  his  experiments  in  a  disused  mine  while  romancing  his  father's  widowed  nurse  Linda.

Hazel  Court  ( as  Linda  Parker )

Sex : No

Death : Survives



Hazel  is  the  only  female  in  the cast   in  this  one.
