He was so good in this, at least he wasn't a background character as he was as Count Dracula.

He is terrific in this film. He truly drips with evil.

Love that flashback scene with him and Denholm Elliot in the church, both actor's on the top of their game.

This has to be his vilest villain, sadly it's so overlooked.

I am not seeing it.
And would you say he was even better in this than in The Three Musketeers? And in Wicker Man?

Definitely the Wicker Man but the author was asking for Hammer Films. He also did a nice little cameo in a great little horror film in the early 70s called Raw Meat.

I think Christopher Lee did his best 1970s horror films for other companies rather than for Hammer. If I've got my filmography correct his only other films for Hammer in that decade were three in the Dracula series. Admittedly his more involved role in 'To the Devil a Daughter' was one he could be more proud of. But I actually preferred him in 'The Scars of Dracula.' He is a Lugosiesque Count Dracula in that 1970 film and I find him very enjoyable to watch in it.

Indeed, Christopher Lee was great in this, he was also great in Rasputin The Mad Monk, another Hammer treat.
