This was my absolute favorite of the Alfred Hitchcock and the 3 investigators series - the book is a fantastic, I actually picked up a used copy a few years ago just to re-read one of my childhood favorites.
The movie does not do justice to the book - While I thought the character actors/actresses were great, the acting of the sheriff left something to be desired -
I also hated to see the movie re-written to have the destruction of this terrific castle at the end - but the sets were great - I loved seeing the way the castle was designed.
Hopefully we will see more of the 3 investigators series, with better writing, and more attention to the other minor roles, with better acting and lines.
