Scoundrel in White
Comedy
Paul, a former womanizer, marries the head of the medical department's "unattractive" daughter Christine because he thinks attractive women can't be trusted and make poor wives.

He begins drugging Christine at night so he can sneak out to kill of Martine's many suitors one by one.
VIBE
This film feels like a sharp, cynical jab at societal expectations and personal desires. It's a darkly funny, unsettling look at a man's warped worldview and desperate attempts to control his fate, wrapped in a stylish, European package.
