Il segreto di David

This remake and Stepfather: Il patrigno (1987) were loosely based on the crimes of John List, a New Jersey accountant who murdered his wife, mother, and three children at their home in November 1971, and then disappeared. List eluded justice for almost eighteen years, during which time he assumed a new identity, remarried, and resumed his work as an accountant. He was finally arrested in June 1989 in Virginia, after the story of his murders was featured on an episode of America's Most Wanted (1988); a former neighbor had recognized the age-progressed clay bust of List, which turned out to bear a close resemblance to his actual appearance, and alerted the authorities. List died in prison in 2008.

Whenever David went down for lemonade and was talking to Kelly, the sweat stain on his shirt disappears.

Unrated version was released on Region 1 DVD and Region A Blu-ray.
