Rated - 3 starsJust another British film.

Cone of Silence, in my opinion, is typical of the era in which it was produced - totally

predictable but, never the less, highly entertaining. Peter Cushing proves to be a far

better actor than was actually called for, making the rest of the cast seem more wooden

than they really were. But, never the less, an enjoyable film but not one to put on the

'not to be missed' list.
