who are you peter proud

[Spartacus]

Marcia Curtis: Who are you? You're not Peter Proud, you're some kind of monster! You're trying to get at me through Ann, well just leave her alone you bastard! Just leave us alone. Just leave ME alone. How? How could you know what we said that night?
Marcia Curtis: You filthy, rotten, stinking bastard!

did he really do sex with his own daughter?, February 29, 2000
Reviewer: Roger Weaver (Cottonwood Falls, Ks) - See all my reviews
I read this book twenty-five years ago. I enjoyed it, but have since given it away, and no longer have access to it. It is a haunting, mesmerizing tale of lost and found self. The only thing that continues to nag at my conscience is the notion of him finding his wife, and then his daughter, whom he finally has sex with. They are about the same age in this scenario, but there is something really lewd about that aspect of the story. For that reason, I wanted nothing further to do with the book, and ultimately gave it away. The movie was equally repulsive in regards to the incest element. Without that aspect, it would have been a fun read and a funner movie

The reincarnation of Peter Proud? I vaguely remember that movie from childhood. Was he actually reincarnated in the movie?

 

[Spartacus]

In 1975's The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (D: J Lee Thompson), Peter Proud (Michael Sarrazin) "is suffering from recurring nightmares of a place he has never seen, a woman he has never known, and a death so brutal and horrifying he must seek an end to the torment" (Vestron Video VA4160). He sets out to search for a home town his "other self" would recognize, and comes to believe that he is the reincarnated Jeffrey Curtis (Tony Stephano) who was murdered in 1946 on a Massachusetts lake. When Peter meets "his" widow Marcia Curtis (Margot Kidder) and daughter Ann (Jennifer O'Neill), Marcia senses she has met Peter previously. Those suspicions are fueled when she overhears him, in his sleep, repeating the words Jeff told her the night he died. Marcia's memory flashes of Jeff's abusive behavior (rape in marriage) reveal his revolting brutality and the reason why she killed him. Proud, now in love with "his" daughter Ann, realizes he can only escape the torment of Jeff's death by going back to the lake where Jeff died, where he inadvertently recreates his own death at the hands of Marcia who believes Jeff-cum-Peter has come back to haunt her and commit incest with his daughter. Given this strange plot, John Caps noted that The Reincarnation of Peter Proud tests the notion that a composer's "ability to score for concept in a picture is even better tested in a film that has no cogent concept"
