4.0 out of 5 stars a good 60's thriller, December 13, 2000

This review is from: Daddy's Gone A-Hunting [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Mark Robson directed this film set in San Francisco which is entertaining and has its exciting moments. Naive young woman, new in town, falls for handsome psycho...and then the fun begins.

The great Ernest Laszlo did some fine cinematography, the John Williams score (except for that interminable, awful title song) is excellent, and the script by Larry Cohen and Lorenzo Semple Jr. has some well thought out scenes.

Carol White (who looks and sounds a little like Julie Christie did during the same time period) is Cathy, the tormented woman, Paul Burke the strong and solid husband, and Scott Hylands is Mr. Weirdo, and they all do a nice job of giving you a few scares.

This film is a piece of memorabilia for me, as an early "Vernon" portrait hangs on the wall of Cathy's apartment...so many thanks to Charles Thompson, who did the Set Decoration, for having such eclectic (and good !) taste in art.

This movie is definitely unnerving, so don't watch it alone. Carol White plays a young woman who meets a handsome young photographer( even in the beginnig he uses sadistic ways to meet her or be around her) who has some mental problems to say the least. When she becomes pregnant he throws her out and she gets an abortion. Months later she meets a wonderful man and after they are married they have a son. Her ex finds out about her and finds a way to manipulate his way back into her life, still resenting the fact that she aborted his baby. He eventually kidnapps the baby with disasterous consequences. I acctually wanted to see this because it was one of Ron Masaks earlier roles. ROn, best know as sheriff Mort Metzger on Murder She Wrote, was reduced to a few seconds on screen with someone else doing a voice-over for him.

This is a little-known movie from the late sixties/early seventies that is actually very good. It has a pretty good premise and there is a lot of suspense. Carol White is very good and very pretty although I must admit, I don't remember seeing her in anything else. Scott Hyland is excellent as a disturbed former boyfriend of White's who finds out that she aborted his child. After she marries a politician (Burke), Hyland goes about trying to exact his revenge by kidnapping their first child. There are a few chilling scenes and a great ending.
