In this dark melodrama, Joan Crawford marries her toyboy lover and then discovers that he's a little, shall we say, disturbed, if not totally deranged. Given an X certificate for its release in the UK, the film features all the hallmarks of director Robert Aldrich: misogyny, misanthropy and murderous intent, a trio of themes he would happily reprise with Crawford in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?. Cliff Robertson puts in a distinguished performance as Crawford's dangerous other half, although his naturalistic acting style clashes somewhat with Crawford's all-stops-out performance.
