...which a blonde looks straight through the camera and coos, "Take it off. Take it off. Take it all off!" while the music rips through a bump-and-grind melody. Of course she is really talking to some guy shaving with Noxzema, and she is referring to his beard. At first it seems wrong. Isn't it the man who is supposed to shout: "Take it off"? But in an instant, the reversal of roles becomes rather charming and even sexy, which is more than can be said for shaving. The girl, incidentally, is Gunilla Knutsson, Miss Sweden...

John Cassavetes plays Guy as much too blah a character to have done what the script says he did, and Ralph Bellamy behind a full grey beard seems hardly sinister enough to be Dr. Sapirstein, the occultivated obstetrician. These minor lapses, though, do not seriously affect the bewitching qualities of the film-which, in addition to being superb suspense, is a wicked argument against planned parenthood...
