Very well acted story of a married man haunted by his criminal past. Gena Rowlands is a real standout as an unknowing wife who learns of her husbands criminal career from a visit by one of his former cohorts that leads to an unfortunate set of consequences. Hugh O'Brien plays the conflicted husband with a nervous demeanor who tries to reassure his wife that he's a reformed man. The late great John Anderson plays a heavy with ambitions of his own. Watch for a brief but memorable appearance from the prolific character actor Olan Soule as a bumbling drunken neighbor who shows up at a most inopportune time. David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence" follows a similar story line.
