Young Susan Shelley (Susan Gordon--the director's daughter) is released from an institution three years after witnessing her mother's (Zsa Zsa Gabor) death. Her dad Edward (Don Ameche) has remarried to a young beautiful gold digger named Francine (Martha Hyer). Susan moves in with them and immediately starts having hallucinations of seeing her dead mother...and a necklace. Is she going crazy again?
OK thriller--not as bad as it sounds. It moves fairly quick, has a few nice jump moments, there's a fairly bloody (for 1966) murder and I certainly did not see the ending coming. Beautiful house too. The only big debit is Gordon. She looks way too old for her role and just simply isn't a good enough actress. Ameche isn't much better. However Hyer is having LOTS of fun with her role and makes this fun to watch. The flashbacks with Gabor are fun too. So no great shakes but OK. I give it a 5.
