FROM THE NOTEBOOKS
Synopsis: Did Kelly kill the Russian Ballerina?
Alan Oppenheimer & Lawrence Dane
Highlights/Comments: Brilliant directing. Opening scene and its editing set mood perfectly. Great pacing. Moving dialogue … Love scene in almost total blackness … Scotty as he confronts Kelly in the hotel room … Scene of banter with cab drivers … Scotty musing “to see what Sidney Poitier would look like in the film”
Zohra Lampert
