criticism

Roger Ebert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times that the film is artistically not on par with Psycho , but offers the audience a lot of thrill ("but in the business of collecting an audience into the palm of its hand and then squeezing hard, it is supreme" " ). The tension is not based on surprises - which are certainly present - but on what a strange woman is capable of. As Eastwood's directorial debut, the film is a good start. The portrayal of Jessica Walter is effective; Eastwood shows in his portrayal that he understands the personality of the character played.

Roger Greenspun wrote in the New York Times on November 4, 1971 that the film was weak from the start. The problem is the direction of Clint Eastwood, who makes too many "simple decisions" - regarding the structure of the atmosphere as well as the actor management. The "expressionless" portrayal of Clint Eastwood himself is also problematic.

“A psychological thriller by and with Clint Eastwood, in which the leading actor stood in the way of the debut director. In no phase of the captivatingly written story is it possible to make the psychological development of the protagonists credible. Only occasionally do better staged action scenes appear, for which Don Siegel, Eastwood's former teacher, is responsible. "

Awards
