The last film of Julien Duvivier, this was a flop despite the presence of Alain Delon and Santa Berger in the leads, and a decent idea: Delon wakes up with amnesia, with a lot of money and a hot wife and begins to suspect that he isn't who they say he is.
There's a few familiar tropes - urst with the wife, turbulent dreams, a dodgy butler. It isn't done particularly well. Delon and Berger look attractive; Berges always about to have a shower or getting a massage.
It lacks a bit of oomph and some decent twists. It's got the story elements of say something like Scent of Fear but none of the spookiness, psycho drama or "oh my god" moments. I have trouble remembering scenes from it and I saw it not that long ago.
