Their life of domestic bliss is interrupted when Emily comes back from prison, where she served a 12year sentence for murdering Neils former lover. She arrives in California to wreak havoc and also to claim back Neil.The San Francisco Chronicle gave the filmout ofstars. They praised Perkins and described Chaplins performance as extraordinary, and that she adopts a unique speech pattern as Emily. She says everything as though shes rehearsed it and now is blurting it out in what she hopes will be accepted as a reasonable replica of casual speech. Emilys manner only loses its furtive, dodging quality when she feels in control or when she flies into a rage. The review also praises how Rudolph embellishes his film with sardonic humour, and the comically macabre touch of TV news in the background of disasters such as an earthquake that killedmillion in Budapest. ........
