Plot Summary

George Bynum, a patient of Manhattan psychiatrist Dr. Sam Rice, is brutally murdered. Soon afterward, Dr. Rice is visited by Bynum's co-worker and mistress Brooke Reynolds and by the investigating officer Detective Vitucci. As Dr. Rice reviews the case notes on his sessions with Bynum, he starts his own investigation. At the same time, he finds himself falling for enigmatic blonde Brooke, despite her increasingly suspicious behavior. The closer Rice comes to the truth, the more he puts his own life in danger...

Trivia After making this film, writer/director Robert Benton said that he regretted the emphasis placed by critics upon its being a Alfred Hitchcock imitation. Benton said that he had intended it to be more a modern equivalent of the 1940s wave of noir thrillers about psychoanalysis (a group of films of which Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) is the most famous example, but not the only one) and that the directors he was actively using as direct influences on him were Jacques Tourneur and Fritz Lang, with the script being heavily influenced by Lang's The Woman in the Window (1944). Benton summed up the situation saying, "This (genre) territory is so staked out by Hitchcock that there is nothing you can do that won't remind someone of him." See more »

Quotes Doctor Sam Rice: Now listen to me! On account of you, I'm an accessory to something. I don't know what! I'm withholding evidence. I'm obstructing justice. I'm gonna get my license revoked if I'm not thrown into jail first. And on top of that, I've just spent fifteen thousand dollars for a painting I don't even like!
