A strangler is on the loose in New York City, using disguises to get into apartments of unsuspecting women. This is similar to "The Boston Strangler," released the same year. Steiger rarely passed up a chance to ham it up and here he finds a role that is perfectly suited to his flamboyant acting style. Segal is quite good as the detective engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the serial killer. Remick is charming as a witness that Segal becomes romantically involved with. Heckart is funny as Segal's nosy Jewish mother. Dunn has a hilarious bit as a midget who tries to convince Segal that he's the elusive killer. While it is entertaining for the most part, the wrap-up is disappointing.
