Dominique

Dominique (1980)

La ricca pianista Dominique, dopo la rovinosa caduta che la resa zoppa da oltre un anno, ora sospetta che il marito David Ballard voglia renderla pazza. Gli episodi incomprensibili si susseguono fino a quando la donna, incapace di sopportare oltre, si impicca. Ma dopo la sepoltura della donna, tutto si ripete, questa volta a parti invertite: stavolta è Ballard ad essere perseguitato dal fantasma della defunta moglie. Quando anche David muore escono alla luce i macchinatori della tragedia: sono la sorellastra di David Ann e l'autista di famiglia Tony. Ma sulla divisione dell'eredità i due litigano tragicamente.

Curiosità

Dominique, also released as Dominique Is Dead, is a 1979 British psychological horror film directed by Michael Anderson, and featuring Cliff Robertson, Jean Simmons, Simon Ward, Jenny Agutter, Judy Geeson, and Ron Moody. The film concerns a wealthy American businessman (Robertson) who is seemingly haunted by the ghost of his wife (Simmons), whom he apparently caused to commit suicide at their British estate. Author Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes wrote a novelization of the film, which is based on the 1948 short story "What Beckoning Ghost", written by American author Harold Lawlor.

Production

Producer Milton Subotsky originally offered the title role to Lee Remick, but Jean Simmons was cast after Remick declined.

Filming started in England during September 1977 and lasted six weeks. The film was initially intended to be shot in Canada, but this was changed after an offer was made for filming in England with a greater budget at Shepperton Studios.
