由三原光寻导演、嘉门洋子等主演的一部惊悚悬疑类影片。本片改编自日本著名推理小说家江户川乱步的同名小说，反映的是对偷窥者和谋杀的研究，并以爱伦·坡式的恐怖故事的味道传达专横跋扈的变态情欲。本片将原来的男性“散步者”乡田三郎设定为死者，大胆改用女性来做偷窥者和受害者，以她的行动和遭遇来推动情节的发展，同时也使得片中有着浓郁十足的香艳气息。

Mari (Marina Vlady) runs a boardinghouse for girls who are in trouble, and Juli (Lili Monori) is a young married woman who is fleeing her passionate marriage with an uncontrollable alcoholic. She has brought her young daughter along with her. Though this is not allowed under the house rules, Mari makes an exception for Juli. Both women are desperately unfulfilled - Mari has a narrow-minded and passionless man for a husband, and Juli still loves her husband, whom she recognizes as a person she cannot continue living with. The two turn to each other for comfort, and each woman gains necessary insights into her own life in seeing the other's struggles. This sober movie by feminist director Marta Meszaros was not a rousing box-office success.
