Plot Summary
Suspense-master Willam Golman (Marathon Man) wrote the novel from which this bizarre black comedy was adapted. It's the extraordinary account of a plumber who kills a dowdy matron, a priest who kills a dowdy matron, and a policeman who kills a dowdy matron. Actually they're all the same man, a psychotic master of disguise brilliantly played by versatile Rod Steiger. The killer also gets his kicks phoning in clues to detective George Segal. All of New York trembles as a sixth strangling is reported in the papers. And the man with the makeup kit stalks another victim... the detective's girlfriend (Lee Remick). A suspenseful, macabre game of cat and mouse.

Great movie
Rod Steiger is brilliant in his performance as the serial killer who disguises himself as an Irish priest, a german plumber, a gay hair stylist, and even dresses as a woman. The romance between the detective and a lovely woman is a bit lengthy, but it's a great movie because of Steiger's uniquely comical character.
