Summary: Yes, a classic
Comment: In addition to the other reviews, let me say that this thriller sneaks up on you. It is so "normal" at first - a guy and girl having an affair. But the psychotic twists to the plot are horrendous.

A minor note of interest: The song lyrics are by Dore Previn (Andre's first wife) and the music is by John Williams - although there isn't a lot - and is his cosmopolitan style at its best (before the bigger style used for Star Wars)

Summary: Good little thriller
Comment: This is a little-known movie from the late sixties/early seventies that is actually very good. It has a pretty good premise and there is a lot of suspense. Carol White is very good and very pretty although I must admit, I don't remember seeing her in anything else. Scott Hyland is excellent as a disturbed former boyfriend of White's who finds out that she aborted his child. After she marries a politician (Burke), Hyland goes about trying to exact his revenge by kidnapping their first child. There are a few chilling scenes and a great ending.

Summary: CREEPY
Comment: It all starts off so nice, but it's so scary. Even more scary because the potential victim is a defenseless baby. I first saw it 30 years ago when I was 11, it affects me more now, I guess that's what parenthood does to you. Just out of interest, the baby in the movie would be 35 by now.Probably works in Silicon Valley, drinking Starbucks and eating sushi.
But the movie itself, a beautifully made and acted film, very underrated. An interesting period peice, complete with a San Francisco radio jingle of the time playing on the stereo in the apartment, with the cat lounging around. For some reason, I think that's a beautiful piece of cinematography. Very Hitchcock like. The poor pussy cat is right up there with the rabbit in "Fatal Attraction", simply a plot device for some thing bad to happen to. You do feel some sympathy for the villian, there are issues with both sides, but I'm so glad good (The baby) prevails in the end.

Summary: a good 60's thriller
Comment: Mark Robson directed this film set in San Francisco which is entertaining and has its exciting moments. Naive young woman, new in town, falls for handsome psycho...and then the fun begins.

The great Ernest Laszlo did some fine cinematography, the John Williams score (except for that interminable, awful title song) is excellent, and the script by Larry Cohen and Lorenzo Semple Jr. has some well thought out scenes.

Carol White (who looks and sounds a little like Julie Christie did during the same time period) is Cathy, the tormented woman, Paul Burke the strong and solid husband, and Scott Hylands is Mr. Weirdo, and they all do a nice job of giving you a few scares.

This film is a piece of memorabilia for me, as an early "Vernon" portrait hangs on the wall of Cathy's apartment...so many thanks to Charles Thompson, who did the Set Decoration, for having such eclectic (and good !) taste in art.

Summary: Creepy drama that makes you think....
Comment: The Pre-Row-v-wade 60's horror take on the abortion issue, it still works today. Creepy ex is much like the ex from Fear (Mark Wahlberg) and has the same energy as Scream and Fatal Attraction blended in the late 1960's. A must see if you like to be freeked out without all the gore and use your head...


Editorial Reviews:

Old boyfriends never die. One woman's nightmare as her mentally disturbed 'ex' continues to pursue her. The situation is complicated by the fact that she had aborted their child when the two were dating.
