| | Wonderful movie!!! | Anonymous 01/20/2007 | | This movie is a must see. It's creepy and cool all in one. Stephanie Powers is a doll and Tallulah Bankhead is incredible in the 1965 film. It's a neat movie with two very strong characters who just so happen to be women. Finally, a film with women in the fore front. See this one for sure!!! |
