    • Quotes

      Claire Marrable: You are the only mistake I made.

      Alice Dimmock: Didn't you ever think you'd be found out?

      Claire Marrable: No and I won't be.

      Alice Dimmock: Giving yourself away like that...

      Claire Marrable: To you? You are a dead woman.

      Alice Dimmock: Oh no, I'm alive. See, I'm very much alive. And I'm not gonna be your next victim.

    Great fun
    This movie was a blast. Geraldine Page is appropriately over the top in this thriller. Ruth Gordon doesn't get to let loose as much as I would have liked, but they do have a showdown which is a joy to behold. The movie would have you believe housekeepers make terrific fertilizer for pine trees, in the Arizona desert, no less! I loved every minute of it.
