What happens
The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh (Italian: Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh, Spanish: La perversa señora Ward, lit. 'The Perverse Mrs. Ward') is a 1971 giallo film directed by Sergio Martino, and starring George Hilton, Edwige Fenech, Cristina Airoldi, Manuel Gil, Carlo Alighiero, Ivan Rassimov, and Alberto de Mendoza. Fenech plays an American expatriate to Austria who finds herself stalked by her abusive former lover (Rassimov), and blackmailed for cheating on her diplomat husband (de Mendoza) with an Australian playboy (Hilton). It was the first of several gialli produced by Luciano Martino with Fenech, after parting ways with American star Caroll Baker. Now regarded as a classic of the genre, it received a retrospective screening at the 61st Venice International Film Festival in 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
