Title: Well done by Altman, especially as it was made for network TV!
Review: Wonderfully acted, delightfully creepy adaptation of Harold Pinter's play,made originally for ABC TV.Linda Hunt and Donald Pleasance are particularly great. But whether it's the scriptor Robert Altman's direction, there's a little less of a feeling that there's a deepermeaning under it all than with my favorite Pinter.None-the-less Altman does a very good job of making the seeming ordinaryodd and disturbing, which is the heart of so much of Pinter's enigmatic writing.
Is the review positive or negative?
