Who'll love it
Right up the alley of people who enjoy a knot in their stomach. Set in sun-baked Los Angeles. Fans of The Naked City or Evil Under the Sun should feel right at home.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Wastes no time getting going, at 1 hr 13 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1974: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want something to relax to.

A television producer decides to find out the whereabouts of a former movie actress whose career has long since faded, then discovers that his inquiries have set off a string of murders.
