Storia
Gerard Reve, an alcoholic bisexual writer with visions of death, travels to Vlissingen for a lecture and feels attracted to a man at Amsterdam's railway station. He meets Christine Halsslag, a wealthy widow who owns a beauty shop and engages in a one-night stand with her. The next day, Gerard realizes the man from the train station is Christine's boyfriend Herman. He convinces Christine to invite Herman to their house while he stays alone, drinks whiskey, and discovers three film reels in Christine's safe. The footage reveals that Christine had married each of the men on the films, all of whom died in tragic accidents. Gerard begins to believe Christine is a Black Widow and suspects Herman or himself could be her next victim.
