The eponymous Spaniard--actually a Britisher of Spanish heritage--is Basil Dignam, falsely convicted of murder. As he is led away, Dignam places a curse on the heads of his judge (Michael Hordern) and jury. Two of the jurors die mysteriously. The notion that Dignam may be orchestrating these deaths from behind bars is squelched when the prisoner himself kicks off. Hordern and his daughter Susan Beaumont play detective to solve the mystery. The Spaniard's Curse is adapted from a novel by Edith Pargiter. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Ladylike Diana Napier is unexpectedly coarse as the female gang boss in Bait. Napier only behaves herself around her lover John Bentley-at least until he spurns her. In retaliation, she frames Bentley for her brother's murder. A knuckle-tough British programmer, Bait is well acted by all concerned. Frank Richardson directed this cinema adaptation of his own stage play. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
