Not a favorite Price movie for me but I like the stuff between him and Carol Ohmart. Unfortunately, while Geoffrey Rush was a reasonable stand-in for the remake, I think Famke Janssen was not the right type for the Ohmart role. Need an Annette Benning or Laura Linney to be a closer match.
Never heard of either of them.
Now in the featurette 'Tale of Two Houses', they pointed out the perception of the wife changed with the times, Carol Ohmart was a beauty pageant winner and her character was a trophy wife...well Janssen seems to also be a trophy wife type, why else did this guy marry her? Somehow I doubt it was for her charming personality.

Janssen has a weak voice--that's why I suggested actresses that have stronger dramatic presence and are closer to Olmart than Janssen.

Good point, watching it again I had to have the subtitles on to get everything she was saying, it's amazing how much dialogue you can miss without them.

When it comes to classic Price camp I have a marked preference for his Corman Poe stuff, but it's tough to go wrong with Vinnie in darn near anything.
