A young
woman named Alexa marries Ronald Marveling, the wealthy father of one
of her friends at college, but she soon finds herself falling in love
with Pietro, another man closer to her own age. Mr. Marveling discovers
the adulterous truth and is exceptionally despondent over the loss. He
concocts a rather unusual plan to teach them a deadly lesson while also
removing himself from the painful (albeit embarrassing) situation. Mr
Marveling decides to frame his wife and her lover for his murder by locking
them in a room at his remote, isolated estate... with his own dead body.
As his body decays and the two lovers become irritable (and sick), shocking
relationship secrets are revealed through flashbacks.
Curd
Jurgens (billed Curt Jurgens in many International productions) was Germany's
most popular actor, often drifting between the stage and the screen before
finding International success in Roger Vadim's And God Created Woman
(with Brigitte Bardot). That film introduced him to Hollywood and the
world market. He was best known for his villainous role of Karl Stromberg
in the James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me (1977). Mr Jurgens
died from a heart attack in June 1982 at age 66.
Director
Juan Logar (sometimes
called Juan Logar Garcia) would make movies in both Spain and Italy. This
one was an Italian production, but before and after he directed his two
Spanish shock/gore films, the seldom seen "Trasplantede Un
Cerebro" [Brain Transplant] and AUTOPSIA
(1973). Juan Logar only made a handful of films, retiring from the business
in 1981, but then returning to the director's seat thirty years later
for "Aśn Hay Tiempo" [There's Still Time] in 2013.
