...Bumping up the slopes on the T-bar at Stowe, Vt., Glenn pronounced the terrestrial view "beautiful" and prepared all systems for the descent. Thoroughly cured of the inner-ear trouble that caused him to yaw and pitch two years ago, after he whacked his head on a bathtub, Glenn roared down the slopes with perfect balance and later lamented that he doesn't have a chance to practice more, seeing as he lives down around Houston, where he still works as a NASA consultant...
...retired have a home that is within walking distance of downtown, to which they can invite old friends for cocktails, or children and grandchildren for dinner. Unless they look hard, visitors do not even notice the necessary modifications-doors wide enough for wheelchairs, grab bars in the bathtub, raised electrical sockets (to save stooping), and panic buttons for emergencies.

Finally, though, this who'll-do-it must be appreciated chiefly as a challenge to the ingenuity of three attractive performers, warming up goulash on the back burner...
...meaning suitor who breaks into her barricaded apartment. Next her landlord shows up with a plan to free her of the burden of rent and unwisely attempts to implement it. When an older sister and her lover return from a vacation, they find the beau's corpse in the bathtub, the landlord's under the living-room couch, and the girl herself, nearly cataonic, under their bed. This is pretty febrile stuff, but the mood Polanski creates--with dark chaotic rooms, dripping water, buzzing flies, and the girl's own Ophelia-like singing compels you to take the film seriously...
