John Alexander’s wife, Helen, has left him for her lesbian lover. As she speeds away from their mansion for the last time, her Jaguar explodes and she is killed. As the weeks pass, police detectives begin to suspect Helen’s death to be murder with John as a prime suspect. Still devastated by the loss, John slips into a deep depression until he views a recently made lesbian porn film that appears to feature his dead wife! He becomes obsessed with finding the woman in the film and his search propels him into the sleazy porno underworld of drugs and mobsters, with the police detectives one step behind him.

This VERTIGO-like story of the dead wife who seemingly reappears, is deftly directed by the master of Italian gothic cinema; Riccardo Freda

Starring the usually menacing Klaus Kinski, who in this film plays against type with a surprising spin on the victim/victimizer role that he is best know for. The film also stars the beautiful Margaret Lee, Sidney Chaplin, (son of the silent film star) Annabella Icontera, Cristine Kruger, Gunther Stoll and Barbara Nelli.

This, the French version entitled LIZ ET HELEN, is the more complete version of the film also released as Doppia Faccia in Italy and Double Face in the USA.
