Remains one of the most estimable mystery movies of its period. [25 Mar 2005, p.D03]
It walks a fascinating line between morbid humor and outright horror, and it consistently defies expectations by resetting them at every possible step.
Working in crisp black-and-white, director Preminger, screenwriters John and Penelope Mortimer (adapting Evelyn Piper's novel) and cinematographer Denys Coop do an excellent job of externalizing Anna's heightened neuroses. [10 Feb 2005, p.M24]
As in The Human Factor, Preminger approaches the mystery of human irrationality and emotion through logic and detachment; the effect is stingingly poignant.
The film’s real charge lies elsewhere—in Preminger’s view of a jolting, disoriented age of rock and roll.
The movie has its share of logical inconsistencies, although to dwell on them is to ignore its deliberate ambiguities and considerable panache.
A brief appearance by The Zombies places the time of the season quite neatly, though London doesn't so much swing as creak eerily.
