I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
I saw this in the 1970's and recently viewed it again...it is still enjoyable. Richard Boone is great as a blind actor who plots revenge on his unfaithful wife played by Stella Stevens. Suzanne Pleshette and John Marley also play key roles. There is lots of suspense and LA scenes.
This was a great script from the prolific Larry Cohen, who wrote episodes for "Columbo," "Arrest and Trial" (a forerunner of "Law and Order") and episodes for Kraft Suspense Theater and "The Defenders." He has also written feature films.I'd love to see this film again - I wish it would come out on video. It stars Richard Boone as a newly-blinded actor and Suzanne Pleshette as his teacher. Though the Boone character puts on a big show for Pleshette of refusing to accept his blindness, he coldly and calculatedly trains himself to act as a seeing man so that, in disguise, he can get rid of his wife and her lover.It's a suspenseful story, a fascinating character-study and all around great entertainment. For some reason, this kind of TV movie fare has gone out of style and been replaced by women at risk films, rather slow-moving versions of Robin Cook and Mary Higgins Clark novels and the like. But we mystery buffs old enough to remember the '70s remember - with nostalgia - this kind of film.
Recently blinded actor Boone (we are never told why he is blinded except that it was a 'accident') finds out that his wife is being unfaithful. Comes up with a elaborate plan to kill her by posing as a 'sighted' man. Not really as imaginative as you'd might expect from a Larry Cohen script. Has what some might consider a 'surprise' ending, but it's really on a very minor level. Stevens (who else?) makes a great sleazy wife.
I saw this movie back in the 70's and never forgot it. It was just so good. I only seen it once. I look in tv guide all the time to see if it would come on again or may on TNT or AMC on cable . please find it and show it again
