- Synopsis:
Six years after 'Germany Year Zero', Roberto Rossellini returned to Germany to make this noir-influenced examination of solitude, alienation, and the crisis of moral values in contemporary life. Loosely based on Stefan Zweig's novel Angst, Fear explores the inner turmoil of a woman pushed to the edge through the anxiety caused by her infidelity. Ingrid Bergman stars as Irene, the wife of a prominent German scientist, Albert Wagner (Mathias Wieman). Irene has been engaged in an illicit affair which she goes to great pains to hide in order to keep her husband blissfully unaware. However, when her lover's jealous ex-girlfriend, Johanna (Renate Mannhardt) learns of the relationship and proceeds to sadistically extort her, Irene's life soon spirals out of control. - Actors:

it's not the film that's the problem, it's the dubbing ! - Fear review by pete b
it's not the film that's the problem, it's the dubbing ! hugely disappointing when instead of the original sound the film has been overdubbed into english, which results in the characters lips moving differently to the words, and sounding separate from the scene as they will haver been added in a post-edit in a studio. i do wish cinema paradiso would flag up if a film is overdubbed, then such films could be avoided.
