Dominique (1979)
3/10
"It was an illusion." .. "I wonder."
15 June 2017
Potentially unstable wife of a stockbroker suspects her husband of trying to drive her mad; after she commits suicide, he begins acting unhinged himself after sensing her ghostly presence in their house. British theatrical release went straight to video in the States, and it's easy to see why: this is nothing more than a television-styled melodrama (with a budget to match). Cliff Robertson is so stoic, he barely reacts after his wife's coffin is exhumed (twice); Jean Simmons adds a bit of class in the early scenes, but supporting players Simon Ward and Jenny Agutter are just plot-tools. Director Michael Anderson complained the film was edited without his approval--so Hollywood doesn't have the market cornered on disgruntled filmmakers. *1/2 from ****
