Lame murder mystery, No suspense, Clumsy writing, The Kramer vs Kramer team tries to do Hitchcock and fails, What makes this movie watchable is Roy Scheider as empathetic psychiatrist turned sleuth, And there's Meryl Streep, Wow, stunning, She has never looked more beautiful on screen.

A complex lead up in plot begins to unravel into an illogical conclusion as the murderer is a character barely introduced in the first hour & half of the story. Poor developed plot that attempts to use Hitchcock devices .

So, this movie has its fans and other people who totally reject it and claim they can see the surprising conclusion from the get go. It’s free on Prime, so you can form your own opinion. It is delivered in superb color cinematography by the great Nestor Almendros. The framing of every shot and the selection of colors (red walls in Meryl Streep’s office, red floors in the house later on, for example) is first rate. There is decent psychoanalytical explanation of the characters, definitely less crude than in some of Hitchcock’s works, which however are considered canonical. The fairly young Meryl Streep gives an excellent performance, but this happened the same year she won an Oscar for Sophie’s Choice. The finale is a little improbable, as one would expect that the killer would have dispatched the psychiatrist when she attacks him from behind. In any event, I thought the movie was very enjoyable and successfully pointed incriminating evidence towards Streep’s character for most of the plot. However, according to an interview she gave many years later Streep herself is not satisfied with the result. On the plus elements, this is a movie about New York not shot in Toronto and actual galleries and auction houses contributed in the settings.
