But a series of accidents leave him wondering if she's really the murderer after all. It turns out she's from a family of Romanian circus performers trying to defect.

Review - Her Alibi

Paulina Porizkova is stunning. The plot, about a withdrawn, rather goofy writer taking a sudden chance, could have been interesting, but somehow the suspense never seemed real and the movie, as was said of Phil Blackwood's plots, was predictable.
