Further complications ensue when Myles' wife Paula (Jacqueline Bisset) discovers

I don't know how else to describe this but as Soft Horror, it draws you in with its weirdness, but it is pretty good

Creepy & a bit silly for a 1971 horror. With a young AAlda, JBisset & BParkins (of VALLEY OF THE DOLLS fame.)
