Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Producers: Robert L. Lippert and Jack Parsons. Copyright 7 March 1966 by Lippert Films. Released through 20th Century-Fox. New York opening at the Lyric: 30 March 1966. U.K. release: 16 May 1966. Australian release: 7 July 1966. 6,872 feet. 76 minutes. Cut to 70 minutes in Australia.SYNOPSIS: Marie Baldwin (Marla Landry), desperate to escape the sinister relationship with her husband, Steve (Ken Scott), leaves him, changes her name to that of a nurse killed in the African riots, and marries Chris Aldrich (Trader Faulkner), a war hero and engineer. After a few happy months with Chris, she discovers that Steve has tracked her down, and posing as a handyman, has secured employment on her husband's estate! COMMENT: It's hard to sit through a film in which that unattractively wooden actor, Ken Scott, has so large a part; but Sidney Salkow's direction does have a few surprisingly inventive moments.OTHER VIEWS: Competent thriller, directed without frills and with a happy disregard for coincidence. The acting is efficient, if undistinguished... But the character motivation is sketchy, and the irony of the climax laboured. - Monthly Film Bulletin.
