There's way too much good luck and conveniences with the stalker for me to recommend it

(1969) Daddy's Gone A-Hunting PSYCHOLOGICAL SUSPENSE THRILLER

Produced and directed by Mark Robson that has a young lady, Cathy Palmer (Carol White) hooking up with photographer,Jack Byrnes (Paul Burke). And while living together, Cathy becomes successful as advertiser, while her live in boyfriend, Jack's income is waning. And as soon as she ties to motivate Jack to seek other means of employment, he becomes irate and kicks her out of her own place. The part that did not make a lot of sense, is the fact that, on one hand, as soon as Cathy finds out she is pregnant and says that the father should not know about it, so that she can abort it. For some odd reason, Jack does find out about it, and at a restaurant, he physically slaps her as soon as she told him she is no longer in love with him, and that she is going to send someone over to grab her stuff. And while she is headed to work, he tries to make it up to her by cutting her off and bringing her roses. Only for her to inform him that she has already aborted it, which ignited Jack to terrorize her, as soon as she hooks up and marries an inspired politician, Kenneth Daly (Scott Hylands) to whom she is expecting and having a baby with. Underestimating Jack's diagnosis as a lunatic going on an obsessive rant to go after Cathy's baby to who s he knows is not his.

The suspense and the motivation is there, but there is way too much good luck and lucky convenience on the side of the stalker, Jack, such as, as soon as Jack carries the baby in a.pet carrier. He notices someone was using the elevator, how does he know it was the police that were in that elevator? The fact that as soon as he leaves through the back alley again, which happens to be next door to a theater, it just happens to be an admission with a bunch of people walking out at the same time, giving Jack the opportunity to mix with the crowd. The fact that the sniper had the opportunity to shoot Jack as soon as Cathy grabs the handle on the carrier.
