With an excellent set of actors, this movie is neither a good mystery nor a funny comedy. Maybe it was considered better for its time, it now appears old and out-of-date. Dirty Harry does it better.
Steiger does a good job of showing us the various disguises of a serial killer; and Remick is lovely, beautiful, charming - as usual. Segal plays the good Jewish boy living with his henpecking Jewish mother. Why doesn't this play right?
Too bad. This is a loser. The story is so predictable. The good guys are "good", the police chief is a "bad hysteric", the Jewish mother is loud and irritating. What a waste of good acting. I guess I would blame it on the script. Don't take the time to watch it.
