Born in Timmins, Ontario in 1937, Steven Hilliard Stern began his career in the Canadian Infantry before transitioning to film. He directed and wrote B.S. I Love You (1971), a cult classic that showcases his knack for blending humor with social commentary. Stern's work in I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now? (1975) and Mazes and Monsters (1982) further solidified his place in the realm of genre cinema, where he explored themes of identity and morality. His films, including Rolling Vengeance (1987), continue to resonate with fans of exploitation and grindhouse cinema.
I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now?
Oliver is in trouble. He's been caught embezzling money from his father's company, and unless he can pay back the $250,000 he took (which he can't), he will be fired from his job, arrested and probably sent to jail. Meanwhile, his rich wife has not only refused to bail him out of this mess, she's planning to divorce him. Desperate, Oliver thinks up a way out. He takes out an insurance policy on his wife with him as the beneficiary, then hires a hit man to kill her. The only problem is that because the doctor who performed the examination is an incompetent fraud, the insurance policy is invalid. Desperate to call off the hit, Oliver tracks down the hit man, only to find that he's subcontracted the killing to another hit man. Tracking down that killer reveals that he, too, has hired it out to a third person, and so on, and so on. Just how many people are trying to kill Oliver's wife?
