  It feels like a TV movie but it?s really not that bad. Matt Dillon is quite good!

  An interesting movie. We know who the bad guy is, but the characters in the movie do not. Ellen can't quite believe that her sister committed suicide, and she continues investigating over a couple of years -- while meeting, falling in love with and marrying the character played… More
  An interesting movie. We know who the bad guy is, but the characters in the movie do not. Ellen can't quite believe that her sister committed suicide, and she continues investigating over a couple of years -- while meeting, falling in love with and marrying the character played by Matt Dillon. It is not quite a whodunit, but a figure-out-who-did-it. I'd like to see the original 1956 version of the movie though.

  matt's good but the film provides the questionable advantage of seeing sean young give two absolutlely terrible performances.

  This truly risible thriller, a remake of the 1956 film, is rendered even worse by Sean Young who, by playing twins, is doubly dreadful.

  Don't you see? Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. <p> I have no idea if these lines occur in this 1991 remake of the original 1956 classic. This one, I've not seen, though Sean Young is a favorite of mine. I'm actually writing… More
  Don't you see? Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. <p> I have no idea if these lines occur in this 1991 remake of the original 1956 classic. This one, I've not seen, though Sean Young is a favorite of mine. I'm actually writing about the 1956 original here, since it is not in the flixster database. <p> With those fateful lines cited above, the wheel turns on Robert Wagner, an absolutely cold-blooded killer whose conscience was apparently left behind in his crib along with his diapers and any love for his mother. Wagner, I believe, has never received his due recognition as an actor. I believe he has suffered due to his groundbreaking, in terms of big screen actors, move to TV. Let me tell you flixster friends, is you've not seen the original, you have missed Wagner's brilliant fleshing out of one of the nastiest dudes in flim history. I'm actually surprised that this excellent work did not get him permanently stuck in villain roles. I'll guess that he escaped stereotyping thanks to a Hollywood saavy and to the help of both a good agent and of a wonderful woman who would shortly after this time become a great wife :)

  Where the F is the 1956 version? Forget this. I'll pretend like this is that one. How can a movie not be on Flixter when it has Oscar winners in it AND its obligatory crappy 90's remake is here? Whatever.
