 The Solid Gold Cadillac, a CurtainUp London review
Stateside readers may not have heard of Roy Hudd, although he is one of our finest actors and is a living link to Britain's centuries' old tradition of vaudeville, music hall and variety, a man with legendary comic timing who has appeared on the same bill as Max Miller and Peter O'Toole.
Hudd is on strong form and a delight, though Ms Routledge doesn't seem entirely at ease with the character of Laura Partridge, ex-thespian turned corporate raider, but this is a weakness in the writing.
Mr Hudd is plainly a desperate man and if members of the public encounter him they should approach with caution since they are in serious danger of laughter in a play which is quite literally a vehicle for its stars.

In what could be a silly character to play she definately injects just the right elements of seductive allure and bitchiness into her character to hold the viewers attention.
Glynn Edwards as Sergeant Allen and especially Roy Hudd as a distastefully comical mortuary attendant also deliver great performances that help lift up the largely unbelievable story to a very watchable level.
Beautiful locations and settings feature strongly in this story and give "The Blood Beast Terror", tremendous atmosphere and a very polished look that stands up definately to the more famous Hammer horror efforts.
