A wealthy landowner haunted by the spectre of his dead mother has a fling with a beautiful fugitive who bears a striking resemblance to his missing wife, who may have been murdered. 

This co-production between Italy and Spain — which would ultimately be Spain's Academy Award submission in 1971 — rests firmly on the shoulders of its lead performers Marisa Mell & Stephen Boyd, whose off the charts chemistry certainly had something to do with their real life relationship creeping and melding with this harrowing story to a more than uncomfortable degree. A whirlwind of giallo trappings — family secrets, doppelgangers, butterflies, psychosexual scheming, manic melodrama —  ooze out of every frame, somehow heald together by filmmaker José Antonio Nieves Conde. Foolishly neglected on home video to this day, don't miss the chance to see an ultra-rare 16mm print of this ripe for discovery gem!

Please note that this extremely rare 16mm archival print is faded. Dubbed in English
