Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSean Connery visited the set during filming in the South of France. He was dating Diane Cilento at the time. They married the following year.
- GoofsNear the beginning of the film, after Alan successfully passes the truck and pulls over to the side of the road, he leaps out of the car without setting the parking brake. Denise is seen pulling on the handbrake, but the car continues to move until the end of the shot, with the front of the car going past the roadside sign. In the next shot, the car has been moved back so that its front is even with the sign.

- Alternate versionsColumbia cut the film to 93 min when they released it in the US, but the TV arm of Columbia, Screen Gems, syndicated a toned down 107 min. print to US television for years.
Featured review
Some Val Guest Flourishes but Overall Lengthy and Tedious
Obscure Hammer Psychological Thriller Written and Directed by Val Guest.
Suffering a Head Injury resulting from a Car Crash, a Race Car Driver (Ronald Lewis) Cannot Perform on His Honeymoon and on top or that is Haunted by a Lust to Kill His New Bride (Diane Cilento).
He has Black Outs and is Forever Fighting the Urge, and eventually seeks a Psychiatrist (Claude Dauphin), a Friend of His New Bride.
1960 saw a Trend in "Psycho" Pictures and Hammer joined in Immediately. This being a Val Guest Film there are a Number of Interesting Camera Flourishes and is a Fun Film to Watch.
But the Fun is Interrupted Frequently by Repetitive Scenes and some Mysterious Things that Astute Viewers won't find that Mysterious.
Good Acting from the International Cast but They bring Heavy Accents to the Dialog, and there is a Lot of Dialog, and it can become Wearisome. The Extended Length (107-120 min depending) Doesn't Help as the Story tends to Lumber and Stretch the Plot beyond its B-Movie Capacity to Sustain.
Overall, Worth a Watch, but Ultimately Talky, Heavy Handed and the Constant Changing Tone that is a Result of the Protagonist's Confusion and the Fighting and Making Up, Fighting and Making Up, becomes Tedious. It's Burdensome at times and tends to make the Movie more Irritating than Intriguing.
