This is an unnecessary remake of the Hitchcock original. The supporting cast are all excellent time served British actors and Gerald Harper, Ian Carmichael and Arthur Lowe bring a delicious energy to the proceedings.
Unfortunately they are onscreen far less than the two leads who are totally miscast.
Elliott Gould acts as though he has wandered in from another film and doesn't know that he is in a period piece but he can actually emote.
Cybill Shepherd is terrible. She is contemporary, which might be forgivable if she could actually act, but she switches from detached and dull to wild overacting without being convincing at either.
Watchable on a slow day but if you haven't seen it you haven't missed much.
