Dominique (also released as Dominique Is Dead) is a 1979 British psychological horror film directed by Michael Anderson, and featuring Cliff Robertson, Jean Simmons, Simon Ward, Jenny Agutter and Ron Moody.[3][4] Author Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes wrote a novelization of the movie,[5] which is based on the 1948 short story "What Beckoning Ghost", written by American author Harold Lawlor.[6] The movie concerns a wealthy businessman (Robertson) who is seemingly haunted by the ghost of his wife (Simmons), whom he apparently caused to commit suicide.

This is the final movie of actors Jack Warner and Leslie Dwyer.
