Barbara Rush

This was a surprising little thriller of a movie mostly because it was a movie-of-the-week and because it had Barbara Rush as the murderous villain,which was quite a surprise and a departure for Mrs. Rush. Her death scene near the end was especially gripping. NEVER try to run across a skylight even if you are a women, it will probably not support your weight! Barbara was always one of my favorite actresses. The epitome of style,grace and beauty she along with Loretta Young and Rosalind Russel were in a class by themselves.

Barbara Rush was very good in this movie.

Like the op, all I had seen Barbara Rush in were roles as an ingenue/heroine. Needless to say it was quite a shock to watch her character change in this. She really went for it and was seriously scary!

It'd make a good headline--"PLAYBOY KILLS WIFE WITH CHAMPAGNE CORK!"

I agree with your commentary about Rush. When I saw the film during its initial airing, Rush blew me away, going from a composed woman to someone totally unhinged. Loved the crashing-through-the-skylight sequence...remember how the film just repeated Rush's fall, until she ended up on the floor below.

They don't make 'em like any more!
