Pretty impressive--especially when you consider that it's basically a two-hour phone call.

listining to anne bancroft on the phone for more than an hour got to be a little annoying, but other than that a solid flick, good acting, better writing, decent directing.

A suspenseful suicide-hotline movie with fine performances be Poitier (the crisis volunteer) and Bancroft (the woman who wants to die).
