Ratings and reviews

Terrific thriller with a terrific script. Jack Palance and Mommy Dearest in a deadly duel of wits. It's even got Gloria Graham for icing on the cake. Good movie, folks.

A classic. I've watched way to many times. And will continue to watch it!! Excellent acting. Great twists .

This is one of my favorite Joan Crawford movies. I love her in suspense movies. She did an outstanding job in this role.
