    "The Slender Thread" is very thriller. Sidney Poitier & Anne Bancroft do very good in this movie even though they are not tograther. The movie keeps you on your edge. I like the clothes that Edith Head design for the movie especially for Anne Bancroft. The directer, Sydney Pollac...( read more)k, does good job making you wonder if the desperate woman is save right to the end of the movie. Break the thead and enjoyed the movie.

    This was really good. Very intense! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. It even got a tear out of me at the end because I was so relieved from all that build-up, haha.
