catching crooks is where insurance investigator Vicky Anderson (Faye Dunaway) comes in. She always get her man. But this time she may be too much in love to give him up. McQueen and Dunaway are lovers and adversaries in a stylish cat-and-mouse thriller written by Alan R. trustman and Directed by Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night, Moonstruck). Jewison makes exciting use of split screen images as the action leaps from the boardroom to the boudoir, the polo field to a glider cockpit.
