Hell Is Sold Out

Dominic Danges (Herbert Lom) is a famous French novelist who is missing and presumed dead during the Second World War. But Danges along with his fellow internee, Pierre Bonnet (Richard Attenborough) were captured by the Germans. Arriving in France after their repatriation, Danges discovers that his new novel, Hell is Sold Out, is a best seller. But Danges knows nothing of the book because a fan he has never met, Valerie Martin (Mai Zetterling), has written the book and passed herself off as the famous French author. As if that wasn’t enough, when Danges returns to his family home he finds Valerie acting the role of his grieving widow! (Verleiher-Text)
