action
New York businessman Jimmy Morgan suffers from agoraphobia and therefore does not leave his luxury apartment. He lives and works in this. Completely cut off from the outside world, he falls into depression when his daughter Amy informs him that she is moving to Chicago and at the same time that his business partner has ruined his own company through a bad speculation. From then on, life no longer seems to have any meaning for him.
criticism
The lexicon of international film found the film to be "especially played with empathy in the main role, but staged without inspiration."
In the New York Times, Walter Goodman did not give a good hair to the melodrama: "The film plows from catastrophe to confirmed catastrophe and finally to the catastrophically slimy conclusion, with dialogues as worthless as Jimmy's business and as dispassionate as his bookmaker."
