Bloodline
As incompetent a movie as you are ever apt to come across in the upper-crust economic bracket. It appears actually to be missing several pieces, including most of its marbles. The fun-ness that sometimes accompanies badness is felt on very few occasions, the only sustained one being Ben Gazzara's guided tour of a pharmaceutical plant -- a little industrial documentary dropped into the middle of this high-society murder mystery. Audrey Hepburn's moments of cool-headed alarm when she finds herself alone in a dark house, stalked by the killer, are well enough executed to bring to mind a much happier time when she and her director, Terence Young, were working together in Wait until Dark. With Omar Sharif, James Mason, Romy Schneider, and Beatrice Straight. 1979.
