aka Die, Beautiful Marianne.Sebastian (Christopher Sandford), almost runs over Marianne (Susan George), whilst she is on the run in Spain. Two weeks later, back in Britain he springs marriage on her, which she is less than enthusiastic about, but goes through with. But she deliberately gets the marriage certificate to name Eli (Barry Evans), the best man, as her groom then leaves. Eli finds her and invites her to stay with him whilst she works things out. There follows a tale of cat and mouse intrigue, inheritance and a family that will to do anything to stop Marianne receiving it.
A slow moving tale, that shows promise, but due to pacing and a clunky script never catches fire. It's either an understated thriller, or just plain lackluster depending on your boredom threshold.
