It could have been a good movie if it had been directed by Hitchcock, for example. The story had
some potential. But Hitchcock had not been available
for 15 years, being busy directing films in another
dimension. The result, a hard-to-watch film, despite Rip Torn being a very good actor, who was in two
episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents TV Series
1955-1962. Mare Winningham, good actress too.
