Wiki.
Return from the Ashes is a 1965 British thriller film directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring Ingrid Thulin, Maximilian Schell, Samantha Eggar and Herbert Lom. It is based on a novel by French crime writer Hubert Monteilhet, adapted for film by prolific screenwriter Julius J. Epstein.
The novel was also adapted for a second film, the 2014 German Phoenix, written and directed by Christian Petzold. He made multiple changes from the book's elements, focusing on the plot to reclaim an inheritance.
The British film starts shortly before the Battle of France (1940) when chess master Stanislaus Pilgrin and Dr. Michele Wulf, a Jewish woman, have a romantic relationship. They get married, but Michele is sent to a Nazi concentration camp.
Following the end of World War II, Michele is released and attempts to reunite with her husband and her step-daughter Fabi. The two plan to kill Michele and claim her estate. The main theme of the film is attempted uxoricide.
