Robert Powell (The Survivor), David Hemmings (Fragment of Fear), Carmen Duncan (Turkey Shoot), and Broderick Crawford (The Mob) star in Harlequin, a mysterious and fantastical thriller from director Simon Wincer (Snapshot) and writer Everett De Roche (Roadgames).
When eccentric faith healer Gregory Wolfe (Powell) apparently cures the terminally ill son of Senator Nick Rast (Hemmings), Rast’s wife (Duncan) places her faith in Wolfe’s powers. But when Wolfe begins meddling in sensitive government business, political fixer Doc Wheelan (Crawford) decides to make the problem go away...
Inspired by Rasputin’s influence over the Russian court, Harlequin (released in the US as Dark Forces) is a classic Australian chiller from producer Antony I Ginnane (Patrick).
