I was captivated by this film in the 70's when I was in high school. Over the years I searched in vain for the pencil-thin mustachioed man who blackmailed an unwilling woman to forsake her husband and son for him. I didn't know the name of the film or know who the actors were. Alas, I finally found the movie again this past week! I see no need to wax poetic about the so-called negative aspects about the players in this drama. I loved the film. I thought the leading lady was beyond lovely, the villain was deliciously handsome, and the husband was dull as needed. I thought the actress's emotions were fitting with her predicament. I could feel her anguish. One can overthink a film rather than become lost in it. I was fascinated with the story as a teenager, longed to find the film again, and was not disappointed when I got to see it once more.
