This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I'll rate this flick 5 out of 10 just due to the atmosphere of sleazy 70s TV pictures. The plot is drug it out beyond credibility, and the main protagonist is acting like an utter fool, even considering the bewildering twist in the end.Not to spoil things, in case you get to see this picture on youtube (as I did, otherwise it'd perhaps be rather hard, not being available on VHS or DVD, etc.) the major idea is a plot within a plot within a plot.

I was channel surfing one day and found this movie minutes after the opening credits. I thought it was a Quincy episode and started watching. I soon realized it was a move.As the movie progressed I said "ah ha!" that I knew who did what. Minutes later I was proved wrong but THEN thought that I knew what was up. Again I was proved wrong. Soon I realized that I was being led down the primrose path. This back and forth happened throughout the movie.By the end of the movie I realized how well it had been crafted. I felt is was a good choice of cast members too.I highly recommend this movie if you can find it!

It's not a bit surprising that this movie is based on a play, since it's rather theatrical: except for a couple of scenes tacked onto the beginning and end, it's a one-set mystery, and a rather gimmicky one at that. What makes it involving, however, is the subtext and Elizabeth Ashley's amazingly sexy performance. The film is really about art of deception and the seduction of play-acting. In one especially weird scene, the ever-bland Franciscus and a white-hot Ashley (those eyes!) almost get busy by poolside. You know at least one character is about to succumb to a lie. Later, the Klug-man has his most believable (and least mannered) moment when he embraces a deception and hollers at Franciscus, "where you come from, are all cops HONEST?" I've never considered Elizabeth Ashley a babe -- then again, most of what I've seen her do are lame made-fors and cheesy thrillers. But she won a Tony nomination for playing Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" so maybe she saved all her sensuality for these two roles.

James franciscus is wondering if the women next to him is his New wife, Jack Klugman is the detective telling him that he will check into it but he can't say for sure. the wife is asking Klugman what is happening and Klugman is telling her to be patient after a recent crash Franciscus may have temporary amnesia and there is more to it than this.
