     It looks as if the honeymoon’s over. Julie (Doris Day), married to the killer of her first husband, soon feels wary of him (perhaps it was because he threatened to kill her, too). So, she decides to go on the lam, hiding out wherever she can (stopping off at their apartment, just for good measure). But no matter where she goes, psycho-hubby always seems to find her. Most of the drama takes place in San Francisco, but the long-winded finale happens, surprisingly, on a commercial airliner. Except for Doris Day’s departure from her usual bubblegum movies, there’s really nothing original here, nothing for you to sit up and take notice, but among so many films of the pseudo-thriller genre, and the many, many imitations that one can find on Lifetime every night of the week, this film stands out, if only for star power.
