Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPeter Lawford, June Allyson, and Ann Rutherford were all veterans who had spent the better part of their careers at M-G-M. Allyson and Lawford had co-starred together in two films, Good News (1947) and Little Women (1949), while also appearing separately in Girl Crazy (1943). This film served as a reunion of sorts, giving them an opportunity to be in the last film shot on the fabled studio backlot before the land was sold.
- GoofsWhen he starts chasing Watkins, Abel is driving a 1967 Chevrolet. When he runs Watkins off the road in the field above the ocean at the conclusion of the same chase, Abel is driving a 1966 Chevrolet.
- Quotes
Kate Bingham: Can you imagine coming home, and your wife says she's leaving you for someone else, and you say, "Who, Phil?" and she says, "No. Phyllis."
Abel Marsh: Well, that's the ultimate put-down... to those of us who are normal heterosexuals.
Featured review
James Garner at his best!
I saw this movie when I was ten-years-old with my cousin Johnny. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember liking it. It seems that Dobermans were capturing the imaginations of Americans from Los Angeles to New York, and this film reflects that craze. Does anyone remember that crazy movie about a group of Dobermans that were trained to commit crime. It's odd how certain dogs become really popular, then aren't very popular at all. That said, I decided to watch this film again...and you know what, it's a really good movie filled with veteran actors who know how to act. Not fast-paced, but a darn good whodunit that will leave you guessing until it is all revealed. A must for James Garner fans. Quite possibly his best, if you don't include the "Great Escape" or "Support Your Local Gunfighter."
