Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey, The City of the Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Dennis Lotis, Christopher Lee, Patricia Jessel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1960.
