Married couple driving through the desert stop off at a diner; the husband goes into the men's restroom and never comes out. A fascinating premise for a so-so TV-made thriller which does give Cloris Leachman (Phyllis on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") one of the four best roles of her career (the others being "The Last Picture Show", "Young Frankenstein" and "A Girl Named Sooner"). Ross Martin is truly scary as the diner's proprietor, and the movie creates amazing tension amidst a realistic rural scenario. Too bad the script isn't as thought-out as one would like. After viewing this on video, a friend and I debated long into the night about what might've been done with the concluding events. The movie doesn't cop-out exactly, but neither does it give us any truly thrilling answers to the wife's predicament. Overall, worth-seeing for Cloris and the promising premise, but I was "Dying" for a better denouement.
