Colonel March of Scotland Yard is based on the character created by John Dickson
Carr under the pen name Carter Dickson.
Boris Karloff, famous for his affiliation with Universal Studios during the "Golden
Age of Hollywood Horror Movies," portrays Colonel March, of the Department of Queer
Complaints who investigates unusual cases, locked-room murders, and mysteries
concerning the supernatural.
The British series was filmed at Southhall Studios, Middlesex, England from December
1954 - Spring 1955.
Boris, 65 years old at the time, as Colonel March is not afraid to get right into
the thick of things, often confronting the perpetrators directly.
In 1953, a film called Colonel March Investigates was made by Fountain Films Production.
It combined three episodes (Hot Money, Death in the Dressing Room, and The New Invisible
Man) Karloff narrates the three segments and stars as the lead.
