Short description

Alex Linden is a psychiatrist living in Vienna who meets Milena Flaherty though a mutual friend. Though Alex is quite a bit older than Milena, he's attracted to her young, carefree spirit. Despite the fact that Milena is already married, their friendship quickly turns into a deeply passionate love affair that threatens to overtake them both. When Milena ends up in the hospital from an overdose, Alex is taken into custody by Inspector Netusil.

What's left behind the scenes

The film fell out of favor with Rank Organization, where it was described as "a sick film made by sick people for other sick people." The Rank Organization logo was removed from the beginning of the film from copies intended for release in the United Kingdom. (Rank Organization was a British entertainment conglomerate, the largest film producer in the country, owning its own studios, distribution companies, and cinemas. The company was founded in 1937 and dissolved in 1995.)
