Three directors bring to the screen three stories by Edgar Allan Poe about souls tormented by feelings of guilt, lust and greed: Federico Fellini shoots “Toby Dammit”; Louis Malle, “William Wilson”, and Roger Vadim, “Metzengerstein”.
In the early 19th century when Northern Italy is under Austrian rule, an army officer named William Wilson (Alain Delon) rushes to confess to a priest that he has committed murder. Wilson then relates the story of his cruel ways throughout his life. After playing cards all night against the courtesan Giuseppina (Brigitte Bardot), his doppelgänger, also named William Wilson, convinces people that Wilson has cheated. In a rage, the protagonist Wilson stabs the other to death with a dagger. After making his confession, Wilson commits suicide by jumping from the tower of “Palazzo della Ragione”, but when seen his corpse is transfixed by the same dagger.
