Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

vincentlynch-moonoi While not quite Hitchcokian, this film is too intellectual for the American audience. I believe that to be the reason that it was such a failure at the box office. But in my view, this is a very good -- though low-keyed -- suspense film.The story involves a psychiatrist (Roy Scheider) whose patient is killed, and a mistress (?...Meryl Street) of his goes to him for help. But could she be the killer. And could she want to kill the psychiatrist as part of a cover-up. And of course, they fall in love.Roy Scheider is excellent and believable here as as Dr. Sam Rice, the psychiatrist. Meryl Streep -- a little surprising as a blonde -- does very well making us wonder if she is the guilty adulteress. Jessica Tandy is along in a nice role as Scheider's mother and fellow psychiatrist. And Josef Sommer turns in another steady role (as he always did as a character actor) as the original victim.Aside from a slightly slow pace (but after all, we're talking about all well-educated and refined people here) is that we have little reason to believe that the ultimate murderer is the guilty party. It's sort of thrown on us late in the film.Aside from that, this is a well-acted film. Recommended. Once

inioi Despite its Hitchcock influence (which is a benefit), Robert Benton provides a good job in directing actors.As an inevitable consequence of having used the techniques of the British Master, the film has quite disturbing scenes which keeps the viewer in suspense, due to the visual and dramatic tension. Roy Scheider and specially a young Meryl Streep, shine in their performances. There's a mystery surrounding Meryl Streep's role in this movie. She is attractive, insecure, it seems that she is looking for company, but at the same time she's unreachable.There is a significant dramatic and psychological aspects that make this thriller deserves more attention.7/10

jfarms1956 Still of the Night is a movie for those 16 and above and for those who enjoy mystery/thrillers. The movie has three stars in it that I love to watch. The film has Roy Schneider, Jessica Tandy and Meryl Streep. All of these stars are mature in their acting and help carry the film. The film may be best enjoyed on a rainy afternoon or late at night because of the mystery/thriller aspect of the film. Still Of The Night begins at a slow pace. The film moves at an okay pace once it gets going. The cast interacts well together. Still Of the Night is not a memorable film and is easily forgotten within a day or two. Grab your popcorn and sit in front of a fire and enjoy the film.

Raymond This is exactly the kind of movie I most often try to catch from the few movie channels I subscribe to. 70's and 80's movies, which I was too young to see when they came out. I wouldn't necessarily buy or rent a DVD in case it was available and it's too unknown to be shown on national channels, but still well made and enjoyable. This was a perfect nostalgia trip to time when they made movies for adults. A thriller with very little action or violence.The plot is fairly simple and very much a homage to Hitchcock. A man falls for a "dangerous" blonde lady. In fact the biggest problem with the movie is that it's so obviously a Hitchcock homage that it's difficult to take it as a movie of it's own. For this kind of who dunnit, it might have also been nicer to have a bit more flesh around the bones, now the story is fairly short and they don't give away too many clues or herrings. At least not that I noticed.That being said, it is nicely stylish and 80's in a good way. All actors do a good job, especially Streep has a couple of very good scenes.One thing that picks the eye is that there is a lot of smoking in this movie. In this day and age it's pretty difficult to swallow, even tho I feel smoking is a way to create atmosphere in certain types of movies and it's not that much out of place here.If you are into movies which are not larger than life, this might be for you. It's a nice and slow little thriller which in the end is pretty forgettable, but enjoyable to watch.
