Curt Jurgens

NOTES Jurgens plays Duncan Ely who has leukaemia and his blood

needs changing every 2 months otherwise he will die. He is

supposed to be "the greatest pianist alive." His solution to his

impending death is to make friends with a family with the

intention of swapping bodies with the husband. The husband,

Myles, is an aspirant musician who after the swap becomes

a great pianist. Naturally in this world of occultism and

Satanism anything good doesn't last.

A dire film.

From the book by Fred Mustard Steward
