Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRemade ten years later as Vanishing Act (1986) with Elliott Gould, Mike Farrell, and Margot Kidder in the roles of the police detective, the husband, and the fake wife, respectively.
- GoofsAt the end of the movie it is shown that Rebecca Foster, among the film's other characters, also has a role in the local production of "Dial M for Murder". There is only one female role in that play, and the fake Elizabeth Corban would be the age to play it, not Ms. Foster.
- Quotes
Father Kelleher: [Mildly, as Corban tries to leave] I wouldn't do that if I were you.
Daniel Corban: What could you do to stop me?
Father Kelleher: [producing a revolver from behind his back, still as mildly as ever] Blow your brains out, my son.

Featured review
Feint within a feint within a feint
It's not a bit surprising that this movie is based on a play, since it's rather theatrical: except for a couple of scenes tacked onto the beginning and end, it's a one-set mystery, and a rather gimmicky one at that. What makes it involving, however, is the subtext and Elizabeth Ashley's amazingly sexy performance. The film is really about art of deception and the seduction of play-acting. In one especially weird scene, the ever-bland Franciscus and a white-hot Ashley (those eyes!) almost get busy by poolside. You know at least one character is about to succumb to a lie. Later, the Klug-man has his most believable (and least mannered) moment when he embraces a deception and hollers at Franciscus, "where you come from, are all cops HONEST?" I've never considered Elizabeth Ashley a babe -- then again, most of what I've seen her do are lame made-fors and cheesy thrillers. But she won a Tony nomination for playing Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" so maybe she saved all her sensuality for these two roles.
