Sandy Dennis (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?) plays a rich but lonely woman in Robert Altman's unconventional psycho-thriller drama, managing to coerce a handsome 19-year-old into her home. The teen, pretending to be mute, is then imprisoned and supplied with food, water and even a prostitute. Altman reportedly turned down a very keen Jack Nicholson for the male lead because he was “just too old” at the time.

The New York Times"The plot is too improbable to be taken seriously, and yet director Robert Altman apparently does take it seriously."
