Hey everyone,
This is a movie that was probably made in the 50s or 60s. The plot has a lot of stand out moments, but I can’t find it anywhere.
Plot points
Man is married to the bosses daughter, he’s not very assertive and his wife spends ours each day practicing ballet, shes still a little girl mentally.
The man begins to sleep with a prostitute and each time he does they switch to a clock on the wall with the hands spinning around more and more each time
The man kidnaps himself and re-enters his life with a new persona, he now acts like a gruff gangster and walks with a limp/cane
His wife likes the gangster persona better and hopes he will keep himself kidnapped (his old persona)
The film is a drama / comedy
Thanks for your help!
“The Ogre of Athens” (1956)?
