Yes - 8/10 very strong thriller - one of two good ones Audrey bowed out on (TWO FOR THE ROAD as good) I think Lee Remick did it on stage to great reviews but obvs Hepburn a bigger name, There was a 4/10 TV version from 1982 with Katharine Ross. Yes, you referred me to the video of the Ross play, performed at some university with Stacy Keach as Roat and I thank you for it. What I learned was that although the movie follows the play's story almost point for point, all of the dialog has been rewritten and compacted so the film is about 30 minutes shorter than the play. The play script is quite talky. To paraphrase a famous line from "Amadeus," there are too many words. Further, Keach takes Harry Roat, Jr. from Scarsdale in a very different direction which might not appeal to lovers of Alan Arkin's Roat.
