The Plot Summary is WRONG!


I really don't think the person who wrote the summary actually saw the movie!

He states that George and Nathalie are staying in their holiday house -- untrue
He states that the caretaker was retarded -- untrue
He states that George finds the body -- untrue
He states that Kent's boat drifted off and brought back the policeman -- untrue


In reality, they are staying at Nathalie's family's summer home, and the caretaker, who is NOT retarded is a childhood friend of hers and had feelings for her. Nathalie is the one who discovers the body when she wakes up in the morning, just as her husband(George) and her pal/caretaker(Lance) are coming home from a fishing trip. The policeman was patroling in his boat and heard the sound of the chainsaw so he went to check it out and then saw the boat anchored near the gazebo.

Hm. Haven't seen it yet - except for final 15 minutes, so now when I watch it, I'll be a little less mystified -- Monday, July 14, at 10:30 AM. You may be correct.

Looks like a lifely piece of Hitchcock suspense anyway.

I miss Big Band music and talented singers. Leonard Cohen/idol. Civility, harmony, unity!
