EXPERIMENT IN TERROR is a classic if there ever was one. Director Blake Edwards is excellent in keeping an audience tense and at the edge of their seats. Kelly Sherwood(Lee Remick)is a very nice looking bank teller that is forced into embezzling a cool $100,000 by an asthmatic psychopath. Miss Sherwood is confused at first and then the terror sets in, when the mysterious man threatens to kidnap her sister, Toby(Stefanie Powers),and use her as collateral. Kelly tries to stay calm, but terror hits the ceiling when the gasping for breath 'Red' Lynch(Ross Martin) threatens to kill the young sister. The terrorized bank teller decides to take a chance with getting in touch with the F.B.I. and agent John Ripley(Glenn Ford), will race with the clock to find Toby and catch the blackmailer before matters get worse.
Filmed in San Francisco and making good use of iconic locales. There is very little time to realize this is a suspenseful two hour long movie. Ford is an acclaimed veteran of the screen, but Miss Remick is the star of this thriller. She is easy on the eyes and convincing in her bravery and vulnerability. Martin makes for a much feared and dark villain. And the music of Henry Mancini is haunting. In support are: Ned Glass, Clifton James, Roy Poole and Patricia Huston.
