Having watched Ray Milland in Alfred Hitchcock's 'Dial M For Murder', I wanted to learn more about his track record by watching this film. Don't waste your time on this poorly made effort. The reason why it fails to entertain is because it robs both Ray Milland and Martin Gabel of their voices. It is Ray Milland's dialogue and delivery that you remember from 'Dial M For Murder' in addition to his acting. Take away his voice then you're going to need a very good score to carry the story. This film fails to provide a good score. Jerry Goldsmith did a great job of 'The Invaders' in the second season of 'The Twilight Zone' series where there was no dialogue until the end. That was visual perfection, but this offering doesn't even come close to that quality. This is not a movie, it is an experiment that fails.
