Blind Date
A motion picture brilliantly, mysteriously different...as man is from woman!
Directed by Joseph Losey
Produced by Independent Artists, Sydney Box Productions
A noir-inflected mystery where a painter must navigate suspicion and ambiguity after his lover's death, caught between desire and accusation.
Painter Jan Van Rooyer has been art teacher to Jacqueline Cousteau, an older Frenchwoman who becomes his lover. But when she turns up dead, Van Rooyer must explain their relationship to the police to clear his name.
