Featuring an outstanding Orson Welles in his last performance on camera, this is an interesting story with a very good twist in the end. Rex Reed loved this film when it premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, you have to give it a chance, and you'll see one of the sexiest bathtub scenes ever put on film!
