The new young wife (Britt Ekland) of a widower (Hardy Kruger) is suspicious of her strange stepson (Mark Lester).
A 1970s psychological thriller with an interesting cast. Lester was the star of the 1968 Best Picture Oliver! Kruger was the star of the 1962 Oscar winner for Best Foreign Film, Sundays And Cybele. Ekland was the former wife of Peter Sellers. Lilli Palmer (Body And Soul 1947) plays a psychiatrist.
The story is bizarre but confusing and a bit dull and talky. Seeing Lester playing an evil child is interesting but he is not given much to do. It is a bit scandalous because it hints at a sexual relationship between Ekland and Lester. She wants to find information about the death of his mother and he says he will tell her if she strips for him, and she does. There is also scene of a topless Ekland hugging Lester in bed. Ekland is at the height of her sexiness here. She is looks great in a bikini and tight slacks and is nude in a few scenes. There are many closeups of her stunningly beautiful face with her big eyes and pouty lips. Unless you really want to see her scenes you can fast forward to them and forget the rest.
