Great movie. Tuesday Weld was fantastic. So was Perkins. I say again, great movie.
To me an almost perfect movie. Tuesday Weld was never sexier or more compelling and Perkins gave us a spin on Norman Bates that matched his Hitchcock performance.
One of my favorites, and a big influence on BODY HEAT.
You know, there was a remake a few years ago, very little seen. Not as good, of course, but the story remains a strong late '60s spin on James M. Cain.

I like it a lot, too.

Stephen Bowie's piece in TUESDAY'S OVERLOOKED this week is his extensive obit.
