The Phantom of Soho (German: Das Phantom von Soho) is a 1964 West German thriller film directed by Franz Josef Gottlieb and starring Dieter Borsche, Barbara Rütting and Hans Söhnker.[1] It was based on a novel by Bryan Edgar Wallace and was part of a large group of British-set thrillers made in West Germany at the time, many of them adapted from the works of Wallace's father Edgar Wallace. It was shot at the Spandau Studios in West Berlin and on location in London. The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hans Jürgen Kiebach and Ernst Schomer. This is one of several films in the Edgar Wallace series that are notable for being filmed in black and white yet the animated title sequences were filmed in colour, a trend that started with Dead Eyes of London (1961) [2]
