Vera Miles as cosmetics mogul Viveca Scott is a rarefied hoot. Vera Miles at her all time best. Sian Barbara Allen ( a 1970's TV-Movie staple), a young Martin Sheen, and the always eloquent Vincent Price show up as fine supporting players. Seems the high-strung Viveca killed her research chemist (Sheen) to silence him as he falsified the testing on her newest beauty cream, that was actually an age renewing miracle.Vincent Price shows up as a rival cosmetics tycoon who uses Sian Barbara Allen as a spy. Meanwhile, Fred Draper, a John Cassavetes regular has a field day as the drunken plastic surgeon Dr. Murcheson. Levinson and Link's TV show COLUMBO was at the very least, classy. It had a great formula, and was social commentary on the motives of the L.A. rich.
