This remarkable film seems to be unavailable, and I can't imagine why. Frank Perry was a fine director who never seemed to strike out, and gave us several memorable films in the 'seventies. The three leads have never been better, the direction and portrayal of the period are spot-on, and the viewer is drawn into the action immediately. Richard Benjamin is a revelation; never before and never afterward did he nail his character to the wall so splendidly. Frank Langella matches Benjamin in loathsomeness and yet one can see the lead female's fascination with him. Carrie Snodgress was a terrific find. why did the movies not do more with her? And more to the point, WHY ISN'T THIS MOVIE ON DVD?!?! Supposedly it was once on VHS, and a few copies seem to be circulating, but DVDs are now the way most of us see movies now.
