Joseph Mankiewicz (All About Eve) received a Best Director nomination for this film, his last; the winner was Bob Fosse for Cabaret.

A stagebound but effective two-character thriller. It might work better on stage, but you're not like to find better leads.

Intriguing to begin, but ultimately tiring; its place is on the stage.

It's one of those works built around a gimmick that in fact requires a little cheating on the part of the filmmakers in order to succeed. But it's a good gimmick.

Delicious, wickedly funny game of cat-and-cat.
