All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (5)
Sophia Loren is given very little opportunity to display her acknowledged talent for acting in Anatol Litvak's new film.
[A] chilling story of mismatched mates.

A curious early 60s drama manages to feel detached from an exact time and place, while fans of Loren or Perkins should definitely enjoy this film's offbeat demeanor.
Fans of melodrama will enjoy this juicy item that sometimes seems Hitchcockian in tone but most of the time exists in a world of its own.
[A] tawdry little melodrama.
The story is not only full of holes; it is also replete with coincidental narrative embellishments stitched on as an afterthought to keep the holes from showing too much.

Solid suspenser with a some surprises along the way.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie, it stars two of my favourite actors, and the story is really cool. It's dramatic, suspenseful, and exciting, but also funny. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful cinematography and great acting from the beautiful Sophia. And Anthony Perkins was wonderfully eerie just like in Psycho... but a little toned down. This is a hidden gem! :)
