Face of the Frog is a 1959 Danish-German movie directed by Harald Reinl. All of London trembles in front of a gang whose boss is disguised as a toad. Inspector Elk and Scotland Yard always see only the frog legs from the robbers. Only hobby detective Richard Gordon clings to the costume criminal's heels.
