Psychopathic serial killer Christopher Gill (Rod Steiger) is obsessed with his late mother, and he targets victims who remind him of her. He dons various disguises to gain his victims' trust and always leaves his calling card, a red lipstick mark, when he's done. Christopher begins deliberately tipping off detective Morris Brummel (George Segal) on the phone, drawing the detective -- who has issues with his own overbearing mother (Eileen Heckart) -- into a game of cat and mouse.

Daniel C. M The first 30 minutes actually are pretty good, very funny and thrilling. Unfortunaly, it derails very fast after that mark: the comedy aspect becomes very nauseating and randomly splaterred across the script; the thrilling aspect also becomes pretty subpar, the whole movie really just becomes a giant drag to sit through, with a predictable and tiring formula. The only thing that manages to be good through the whole movie is the marvelous acting by both the protagonist and the antagonist. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/22/24 Full Review Audience Member The movie is an underrated classic of Hollywood. Makes for a fantastic late night watch. Its a skillful mix of murder thriller and romantic comedy. A rare feat! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review
