    Excellent Mystery!

    I saw this movie several years ago and I never forgot it. It will keep you on the edge of your seat. The actors are wonderful. As soon as you think you have it figured out, something will happen to prove you wrong. When it ends you'll want to watch it all over again. I have never seen a movie like it since. It is so smart and creative, I wish more movies were as imaginative. It's a favorite of mine. I'd love to buy the video or DVD, but it's nowhere to be found. I wish it would play on T.V. again, so I could tape it. If you get the chance to see it, don't miss it. Tape it if you can, they hardly ever show it. If you love unpredictable endings this is the movie for you! Engoy! I did.

    Great!

    Very clever.

    Klugman is excellent in this classy TVM from that glorious year, 1976. The remake came a decade later, "Vanishing Act", with Elliott Gould and while good, was not a patch on this.

    Great plot. Keeps you guessing.

    Finally got to see [and record] it this week

    8/10

    A real nail biter

    At first glance, this looks like another here today, gone tomorrow made for TV thriller, but this is one that will stay with you. There are twists and turns that you'd never expect, and the denouement is very clever. There's a terrific atmosphere of mystery and terror throughout, and the cast is perfect. Jack Klugman never solved a mystery this good as Quincy, that's for sure.

    A real plot twister!

    I love this movie! It is very rarely seen, however. I've seen it once and wish it were available on video. It's a wonderful mystery that I promise you will never figure out. A real plot twister, it will make you sit on the edge of your seat.

    The acting is great on all fronts. You'll always be guessing, wondering and halfway not wanting the film to end because it is so good. I could watch this movie in its entirety and sit right back down and watch it again. Don't miss this one, it's great!

    Excellent Movie

    I was channel surfing one day and found this movie minutes after the opening credits. I thought it was a Quincy episode and started watching. I soon realized it was a move.

    As the movie progressed I said "ah ha!" that I knew who did what. Minutes later I was proved wrong but THEN thought that I knew what was up. Again I was proved wrong. Soon I realized that I was being led down the primrose path. This back and forth happened throughout the movie.

    By the end of the movie I realized how well it had been crafted. I felt is was a good choice of cast members too.

    I highly recommend this movie if you can find it!

    • Trivia
      Remade ten years later as Ma femme a disparu (1986) with Elliott Gould, Mike Farrell, and Margot Kidder in the roles of the police detective, the husband, and the fake wife, respectively.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the movie it is shown that Rebecca Foster, among the film's other characters, also has a role in the local production of "Dial M for Murder". There is only one female role in that play, and the fake Elizabeth Corban would be the age to play it, not Ms. Foster.
    • Quotes

      Father Kelleher: [Mildly, as Corban tries to leave] I wouldn't do that if I were you.

      Daniel Corban: What could you do to stop me?

      Father Kelleher: [producing a revolver from behind his back, still as mildly as ever] Blow your brains out, my son.
