    There is also one called "Deceived" starring Goldie Hawn with a similar plot.

    Year: 1991

    Screen darling Goldie Hawn portrays Adrienne Saunders, who is devastated by her husband Jack's recent death. In an attempt at closure, she delves into his past and discovers some disturbing facts, bringing up suspicions that there might be something fishy about his death — or that maybe he's not even dead after all! Realizing she's been deceived, Adrienne becomes a force to be reckoned with in this must-see mystery thriller.
