Although fictionalized,this thriller is based on a true event .It was before "the eyes of Laura Mars" and the spate of "profiler movies " which became a new genre in the nineties and after .
Thus,although it sometimes drags on, it's a movie ahead of its time : hats off to Joel Grey who handles his part of clairvoyant with skill and talent :the very last picture ,notably , and his spooky look , linger on the viewer's eye when the movie is over .Cliff portrays the sceptical cop who ,when the movie is over, does not really know where the truth lies; anyway the final lines do not give everything.
Best moment :the test and the theory of probability ; and when he talks about the detective's future birth, although it's not really threatening , the clairvoyant has something of wicked fairy Maleficent.
