What happens

The Corruption of Chris Miller (Spanish: La corrupción de Chris Miller) is a 1973 Spanish psychological horror film directed by Juan Antonio Bardem and starring Jean Seberg, Marisol, and Barry Stokes. The film follows a woman and her stepdaughter who come to suspect a handyman they have recently hired is responsible for a rash of violent murders in their small mountain community. Marisol's first film in which she does not perform musical numbers. The only brief exception is a moment in which the three protagonists perform a verse of the song Au clair de la lune on guitar, in which Marisol sings a single verse. The film was Marisol's first film apart from Manuel Goyanes. Anabel Films founder and producer, actor Javier Armet, developed an original idea from Santiago Montcada to produce this high-budget, international film (number 7 in the USA). It was filmed outdoors in Comillas (Cantabria) and Las Fraguas (Cantabria) and indoors at Isasi Isasmendi's Esplugas Films Studios in Esplugas de Llobregat (Barcelona). The film was released in some English-speaking countries under the alternate titles Behind the Shutters and Sisters of Corruption. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
