Reception

[edit]

Todd Everett of Variety wrote, "In reducing the hazard to the level of personal melodrama, both the feature and the telepic trivialize the real-life menace, which is plenty scary on its own."[1] John J. O'Connor of The New York Times called the story inane and harebrained.[2] Chris Willman of the Los Angeles Times wrote that Mastroianni "tries to pump imperiled-woman suspense into the ludicrous scheming, with minimal antidotal effect. Prepare for an outbreak of laughter."[3]
