When driving home from his London office, executive Harold Pelham suffers a serious accident after which he faces the shadow of death. When, against all odds, he miraculously recovers, he discovers that his life does not belong to him anymore.
This British psychological thriller, directed by Basil Dearden and starring Roger Moore, was based on the 1957 novel 'The Strange Case of Mr Pelham' by Anthony Armstrong, and is a variation on the Jekyll and Hyde story.
