Best performance: the pilot.


The most interesting scene in this dull tale was the helicopter chase; it was exciting with a bit of humor, and the pilot did a great job. It started about 20 minutes before the end and is worth watching. The hunt through the airport, which occurs just after the chase, was pretty good too, especially the part involving the control tower. The rest was all too predictable, although the casting of Price as Russell's husband was interesting. I suppose that was to confirm that she only married him for his money.

Vincent Price was a charismatic, fun, intelligent guy who was thought to be very good looking by a large number of ladies. I'm certain that even if he had been a gas station mechanic with a modest income he could easily have married an attractive woman.
