I think the fault lies with Clint Eastwood the director, who has made too many easy decisions about events, about the management of atmosphere, about the treatment of performances.

As syrupy as it plays at times, it did spawn the genre of Obsessed Stalker movies, and showed the first signs that Eastwood could do more than act.
