Storyline

Jerry, a Southern California golf pro is the target for Diana a disturbed young woman who desires the death of her shrink, who alone realizes her psychotic potential and seeks to have her committed. She suggests to Jerry that they "swap" murders - she'll kill his golf rival and he'll reciprocate by killing her psychiatrist. When she holds up her half of the bargain, she expects him to follow through with his end. Written by alfiehitchie

Terrible acting and terrible script and terrible sets
11 October 2018 | by nikicooper – See all my reviews

This is a terrible film. Carol Lynley is painful to watch, her attempt at a suductress consists of leaning on walls and rolling her eyes. Martha Hyer is past her prime, looks bad, wears bad clothes and wigs. Paul Burke is the one bright spot.
