THE OMEGANS (1968). One of the first leading roles for Ingrid Pitt, who a couple of years later tasted big success via Hammer and other studios. She's an unhappy wife married to a much older painter, who travels around the world painting and earning big bucks for his work. She has a lover and they conspire to kill hubby after enough money comes, but unfortunately for them, the Husband gets wind of their plans and undertakes a somewhat nasty revenge; almost COUNTESS DRACULA in reverse.
Ingrid is luscious here, but film isn't much; suffering from pedestrian direction by W Lee Wilder (Brother of legendary William) and a an oddly out of place music score. The revenge angle is pretty good as mentioned, but it might be hard going to get there. **
