As a murdered man's psychiatrist, drawn into the investigation of his patient's death and also toward his suspiciously nervous mistress, Scheider is sober, stalwart and workmanlike, but one longs for the goofy exasperation Cary Grant used to bring to roles like this, not to mention his wary misogyny.
