no kill
7 May 2020
After a devastating car accident, race car driver Alan Colby becomes obsessed with strangling his wife Denise. She is concerned about his mental instability. They go to Cote D'Azur to rest where she is befriended by psychiatrist Dr. David Prade but Alan refuses to get treatment.

The title is also called "Stop Me Before I Kill!" That shows its B-movie level. The acting has limitation as well as Diane Cilento's odd accent. It keeps suggesting some tension but it could never rise above a low simmer. The movie has few thrills. The other problem is that the couple's chemistry is always troubled and the audience has no rooting interest to keep them together. Alan is extremely melodramatic and Denise has her accent overacting. The evil Prade is the movie's saving grace but it's still only talk. The material has some higher potential but this is no more than a B-movie.
