- Synopsis:
- When wealthy businessman John Alexander (Klaus Kinski) unfaithful wife Helen (Margaret Lee) dies in a car crash, it initially looks like a freak accident. However, the plot thickens when evidence arises suggesting that the car was tampered with prior to the crash. And John's entire perception of reality is thrown into doubt when he discovers a recently-shot pornographic movie which appears to feature Helen - suggesting that she is in fact alive and playing an elaborate mind game on him...

A standard giallo lifted by Klaus Kinski - Double Face review by NP
There are some cigarettes smoked in this film. In fact, the amount featured might have blown the budget, as some of the special effects are more than a little rough. Not to worry, we have top-billed Klaus Kinski playing a man apparently being driven mad, so we’re in for some enjoyably extreme theatrics, surely?
Well actually, no. Kinski is at the most restrained I’ve ever seen him. That powerhouse of rolling eyes and bared teeth is subdued and on his best behaviour – or as much as you can be given the circumstances. It’s strange seeing Kinski in the Edwidge Fenech/Dagmar Lassandra role (Nora Orland’s incidental score has definite echoes of his subsequent work on ‘The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh’, starring Fenech in the titular role).
A fairly standard giallo, which has moments of great interest – usually involving Kinski.
