Cherchez la femme!
21 April 2024
Philip Carey comes home from the war with a damaged leg and finds his wife dead with a fired gun in her hand. The police reports it as suicide but is very well aware that it is murder, but in order to bring out the murderer, who must make some mistake, he makes it official that it was suicide. Many are involved in the plot - Dennis Price, Christopher Lee, James Hayter and Pier Angeli as the star, singing at a night club. With some threads of the intrigue in her hand, but she says nothing. This muddled up murder mess ends up in a chase for a couple trying to get away, and here is perhaps the most interesting acting performance - Anthony Newley, still quite young, as the artful pilot chasing the fugitives by air and managing a miraculous landing in the Atlas mountains. Philip Carey has a hard time being driven out of his wits by this murder with several attempts on his life as well, but no one can guess the real story behind this intricate jealousy intrigue, while everyone lands safely after all.
