Albert Baker (Dennis Waterman) is a shopwindow dresser trainee who has
no friends and has his problems with the ladies. Then though he meets
lovely Eve (Carol Lynley) and his whole life changes - and yet there is a
problem, Eve is a shopwindow dummy, and Albert's boss (Michael Gough)
actually plans to replace and burn her. This gets Albert so worked up that
he eventually kills his boss, steals the dummy and hides away in the
country at a spaced out artist's (Errol John) place. But even for the
artist, a man in love with a dummy is a bit much, and soon, Albert finds
himself on the run, Eve in tow. Eventually, he gets into a fight with two
bikers over Eve, with the bikers not knowing she's a dummy, and they kill
Albert ... and the last image shows Eve the dummy shedding a tear. A
cross between psycho thriller and fantasy romance that might sound better
in writing than it does on the screen, where the whole story has some
problems to shift into gear - but despite that, Eve is at least
worth a look at least as a macabre - if imperfect - little tale situated
somewhere between romance and perversion ...
