For some reason, I always find stage adaptations

For some reason, I always find stage adaptations of stage plays intriguing to watch. Second of all, it piques my interest when the play is written by Ira Levin, who is credited with writing the novels Rosemary's Baby, The Stepford Wives, and The Boys from Brazil; all of which were also adapted into movies. I enjoyed watching this movie! It's great to watch Christopher Reeve and Michael Caine act together in a Sidney Lumet film.

The rustic set design and fun plot twists

The rustic set design and fun plot twists keep this stage play to screen adaptation afloat. It's not as intense, or creepy as say, Rope or Wait Until Dark and the dialogue was a bit over the top but Christopher Reeve's performance is worth it. He was so talented. Caine's yelling fits and Cannon's anxious delivery were a little much but I suppose that's how the characters were written and directed. I didn't get a lot of dark comedy, tho it was present. The music was on point. I'll probably watch it again for Reeve alone and since I got the blu-ray brand new for $3, it will stay in my collection.

This is one of my favorite movie thrillers

This is one of my favorite movie thrillers and I can recite the dialogue I have seen it so many times. Micheal Caine and Christopher Reeve are outstanding chewing a lot of scenery. They do but both give deep performances and Reeve shows again that he was an underrated actor, The twists and turns are glorious including a shocking scene that surprised me and made me happy more than most thrillers have done.
