My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb

Artist David Hemmings dupes crippled, insecure Samantha Eggar into helping him and his friends rob her workplace. The initially reluctant Eggar falls head over heels for the seductive Hemmings, ignoring her better judgment she moves in with him after a few weeks. He uses her love to blackmail her into giving him critical information to pull off the robbery, then talks her into actually participating. Afterwards, she begins to piece together his sketchy past and confronts him. Moodily photographed by Arthur Ibbetson on London locations.
