Agnes, a young interior designer, arrives on a small Spanish island to renovate the house of a certain Zaylor located in Enseralda, an isolated village. On the way, she meets Daniel, a man who provokes the hostility of the people around him. He may( or may not) have murdered his wife whose body was never found .A really cosmopolitan cast! Around the principal (French Annie Girardot) , an English (Richard Johnson) ,an Italian (Alida Valli)and ,just the same ,a Spanish (Francisco Rabal ) ,all of them first-class thespians. But as you know,too many cooks spoil the broth .And François Villiers 's forte is not the thriller ("Constance aux enfers" was a double rip -off of "les diaboliques" and "rear window") .His directing does not even take advantage of the splendid Spanish coast landscapes ,and it's not filmed in color at that !Looking towards "Rebecca" this time, the film fails on all fronts :it is as though the director eventually realizes how dour it is and tries to enliven things with a male dancer who makes the ladies drool .Annie Girardot tries her best but what can a great actress like her do with a screenplay which borrows for so many other thrillers and fails totally to convince ?
