Morbid unwatchable misogynist psychological thriller of the sensationalist school.

Tense but a bit melodramatic, especially in regards to Olivia De Havilland's performance, but it's still a good film. Professionally done and very suspenseful.

A group of criminals harrass a woman traped in an elevator in her home. Features an early appearance by James Caan and has an ending that must have been pretty shocking for 1964.
