A sleazy exercise in stalker gore propped up by a singularly starry cast including Lauren Bacall, James Garner and Maureen Stapleton. One wonders what drew any of them to the pic other than a paycheck as Michael Biehn's nutter first worships and then comes to hate his idol stage star (Bacall) attacking and/or killing anyone that he feels is coming between them.
Fifty-seven at the time but playing 50 Bacall had just come off a run of Broadway musical successes in real life and the movie becomes schizoid itself featuring her in high-tech musical rehearsals counterpointed with Biehn's bloody vendetta. I had seen this before many years ago and should have remembered to give it a miss.
