The Hyena of London (1964)


Directed by Gino Mangini
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb

An English doctor is conducting experiments in his country mansion. His household consists of his daughter, who meets her lover nearby for occasional trysts, various servants who have it out for their master and a disgraced, alcoholic assistant doctor. A murder in the nearby town throws suspicion on just about everyone. Could it be related to the hanging which happens in the first scene of the movie? Of course! There is a ludicrous explanation at the end which ties it all together. However, between this framing narrative are endless scenes of the entangled relationships in and around the mansion.
