...madness and is soon trying to reproduce the experiments. He is aided by a shapely but vacant assistant called Inga (Teri Garr) and by the stainless-steel housekeeper Frau Blucher, played by Cloris Leachman, who does a skillful and witty parody on the Judith Anderson role in Hitchcock's Rebecca...

...usual gap between the architect's conception and the everyday thoughts of the building's users. But Richardson's importance as an architect comes from his original manipulation of form and space, not from the round arches and towers he took from an earlier era.

...shellbursts of nostalgia for the 1950s, there ought to be at least one small report for William Castle, a producer and director of low-budget horror films. Castle fashioned a personality for himself-a sort of little-theater Hitchcock-and assaulted audiences with gimmicks that never really succeeded in disguising the abject sleaziness of his movies.
