What it’s about. Two years before he first donned The Count's cloak for Dracula, Christopher Lee had one of his earliest leading roles in this fascinating low budget short subject.

Who’s in it. Cross-Roads stars Christopher Lee as Harry Cooper, Ferdy Mayne as Bernard J. Maskell, Mercy Haystead as Betty and Janet Richards as Susan Cooper, among others.
