Adapted from a novel by acclaimed
mystery writer
Sébastien Japrisot, this French/Italian nailbiter stars
Marlène Jobert as
Mélancolie "Mellie" Mau, a young woman stalked by on a rainy afternoon by a mysterious stranger. The man eventually breaks in on
Mellie while her husband is gone and rapes her. She grabs a shotgun and kills her assailant, dumping the body into the ocean. When the body is recovered, American military officer
Dobbs (
Charles Bronson) accuses
Mellie of the murder -- and of stealing the U.S. Army money that the rapist had been carrying with him -- and that's only the beginning. The plot piles one twist upon another, deliriously confounding the audience at every turn.
