Film Synopsis
Sir Alfred Carter, a distinguished conductor, is convinced that his beautiful
wife Daphne is having an affair with another man. Whilst he is away
on a tour, he asks his brother-in-law to keep an eye on her. Carter's
suspicions are confirmed by a private detective, who alerts him to the fact
that Daphne is seeing his own secretary, Tony. Inspired by the music
that he conducts during his tour, Sir Alfred envisages three dramatically
different conclusions to the affair. Rossini, Wagner and Tchaikovski
present him with three course of action: he can either murder his wife (by
committing the perfect crime); he can play the magnanimous husband and forgive
her; or he can resort to Russian roulette...
