Christopher Gill is a psychotic killer who uses various disguises to trick and strangle his victims. Moe Brummel is a single and harassed New York City police detective who starts to get phone calls from the strangler and builds a strange alliance as a result.

Nutshell

7/10

Rod Steiger's performance as a twisted serial strangler is the best thing about this tongue-in-cheek cat and mouse thriller from director Jack Smight. The laughs center mostly around detective Morris Brummel (George Segal) and his domineering mother (Eileen Heckart). Lee Remick is there mostly for something nice to look at, but see this for Steiger!

You've reached the end.
