I just watched this on TCM based on some of the "lost 70's classic" recommendations posted on here. It's not that the movie is too slow, as some have suggested, it's that it doesn't make any sense. Even 40 years ago the police would have been able to find the stripper girl friends apartment BEFORE he murders her and even if they failed at that, which is highly unlikely, they would have been watching his workplace to ensure he didn't return there. It doesn't seem to me that any rational thought was given as to the character motivations. What police guard would not report a missing inmate immediately? I will admit that George Segal gives a very good performance as do other cast members but it's all for naught given the ridiculous plotting.
