    One of John Schlesingers forgotten movies largely derided as him slumming it. Terrific movie with great cast. I always find Harris yulin creepy and he is in this. Richard masur another Hollywood actor who plays sheens friend is like yulin a Hollywood regular and well used here (like his spot on the thing).
    Great that you review this neglected work
