This movie popped into my head while reading another post, but I can't remember what it was. Hopefully someone here knows.
I'm not totally sure if this first part is part of the same movie, but I think so.
A man who is a reporter or an investigator of some kind, or possibly a hitman, gets a tip or an assignment to go to a certain place. After he gets there, not all goes as planned, ending with his passport or papers being confiscated. This situation leads to him essentially being pressured into investigating what the rest of the movie is about.
He ultimately is led to this other place, which is headed up by a wealthy and powerful older man, who has a young woman staying in the same house with him, who is either his mistress or his daughter or his ward. The main guy sleeps with her, but there is something weird or elusive about her. While there, the older powerful man becomes aware that the younger man is secretly investigating something, possibly him, and he tells the younger guy that basically he no chance against the older man because the older man has so much more savvy and influence.
All of this has something to do with this woman who died like 20 years ago or so, who the younger man knows or suspects that the older man killed by pushing out a window. This dead woman is possibly the mother of the young girl who is the romantic interest. I also think she was the old flame of the man who sent the hero on the investigation in the first place.
It also might be a part of this film that the man who sent the main guy on this investigation in the first place knew the older powerful man, and the older powerful man might say that this other guy would never believe that he killed this woman.
Also, these men might be spies or possibly former Nazis. I'm not sure about that though.
Also, I think the main guy was a well-known actor, as was the older powerful man. I don't remember about anybody else.
I think this film was probably from either the late '60s, the '70s, or maybe the '80s.
I'm sorry for the lack of detail, I'm really just left with general impressions of this film rather than specifics. And again, I'm really not sure if that passport thing is part of this film or another film. If it is a different film, and you know what that is, I'd love to know that too!
Thank you in advance!
