Residents at a posh Utah hotel become suspects when a girl is found murdered during a pool party. Local sheriff Jess Holmes (John Dehner) takes charge of the investigation and must discover who among the terrified guests and staff -- including bodacious vixen Harriet Ames (Mamie Van Doren), the hotel's bitter, crippled proprietor (Ron Randell), visiting lawyer David Hewson (Lex Barker) and his secretary, Beth (Anne Bancroft) -- is the culprit, even as murders continue to take place.

Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 11/05/2019
Pretentious touches in direction and camera work fail to bestow above-average merits on a whodunit about a series of murders at a summer resort. Go to Full Review Alberto Abuín Espinof 09/04/2019
The best of the film, in addition to that harmless game of who is who, lies in the subtle interpretation of Anne Bancroft. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 12/22/2018

Aldo G 12/27/2023 There are elements to the story that are of interest, but the whole thing feels like a cheap, exploitation film (probably because that's what it is.) See more 06/21/2013 To its credit, it's several notches above the standard exploitation drive-in fare that flooded the theaters in the late fifties. See more Scott R @ScottR 06/20/2013 Posh? Utah? That description alone hooked me. It was a rather dry movie though. Bancroft surprised and van Doren was a bomb shell. See more 10/09/2010 Pretty standard B-movie murder mystery fare. A few colorful characters aren't enough to rise it above unremarkable routine. Instantly forgettable. See more Read all reviews
