aka Liz et Helen
Mildly diverting murder mystery from director Riccardo Freda that is closer in tone to the German krimi film than the Italian giallo.
Klaus Kinski gives a fairly reserved performance as John Alexander a man accused of murdering his wealthy wife Helen, only problem being she may not really be dead.
Margaret Lee is the wife and Annabella Incontrerra her lover Liz (hence the films alternate title).
As with most Freda films it's very stylishly shot but there are a couple of extremely poor effects shots that let the film down big time, a train crash that is honestly laughable and some rear projection tobogganing that doesn't work at all.
Plus points are a couple of groovy nightclub scenes and an ending i certainly didn't see coming at all, worth 90 minutes of anybody's time.
