Das Gesicht im Dunkeln

Italien BR Deutschland 1969 Spielfilm

Double Face

When Helen Alexander, daughter of a rich car manufacturer, dies in a car accident, her husband John is targeted by the police, because Helen had declared him the sole heir to her fortune shortly before her death. Then he gets a visit from Christine, who takes him to a party where a just finished porn movie is shown – featuring her and a woman who could be Helen. Liz, with whom Helen had an affair, also confirms to John that Helen could probably still be alive. Then John receives a call from Helen asking him to meet her.
