This recently aired on TCM Imports and man is it shockingly bad. Like a really weak DePalma film (think Femme Fatale) that was clearly influenced by Desperately Seeking Susan (which was made two years prior). So many interesting scenes- that we never get to see. Sex between the two main characters (we come in well after the deed), girl locked in steamroom while unconscious (cut to her in the hospital bed recovering) , girl falls off boat (cut to her soaking wet walking on the road). You get the idea. There's not one moment of suspense in the whole film. Someone said the editing was good. Huh? It was embarrassing, with some cuts making me think this was a tv movie and there were cuts for commercials. I only wrote this review to save others from watching if TCM cues it up again. I'll never listen to Alicia Malone again- she obviously had not seen this. Hitchcock? She said "Hitchcock". Straight garbage.
