Michael Carreras directed this complex mystery about an American painter and drifter named Jeff Farrell(played by Kerwin Mathews) who is stranded in a bar owned by a woman named Eve(played by Nadia Gray) who seduces him away from her daughter Annette in order to enlist him in an effort to spring her estranged husband from a mental asylum, where he had been committed for killing Annette's alleged rapist with a blowtorch. It turns out(of course) that there is much more to it than that, as Jeff will discover...Complicated but uninspired film seems to combine "Psycho" with "The Postman Always Rings Twice" with mostly tedious results.
