A Bravura Steiger Pereformance.......2007-09-05

No Way to Treat A Lady reminds us what an exceptional talent Rod Steiger was. This dark action/comedy gives him a broad palatte to strut across, and strut he does, as a serial killer in a game of cat-and-mouse with a harried police detective trying to track him down -- George Segal. A taut and enjoyable film with humor and the beautiful Lee Remick, and an over the top secondary performance by Eileen Hechart.

Interesting suspense movie.......2007-05-30

This movie seems to have gone un-noticed by many people, but we think it is a worthy, though a little old fashioned, suspenseful entertainment. Lee Remick is so lovely, and Rod Steiger shows off his love of the stage. We give it 4 thumbs up.

No Way to Treat a Lady.......2006-07-09

I hadn't seen this film in many years, but it was one of my favorites and I'm glad to be able to add it to my collection. Rod Steiger was always best as a villan and he really shines in this one. Lee Remick is also terrific as a lady who fall for a jewish cop who's investigating a murder.

No Way to Treat a Leading Lady.......2004-05-28

A very perceptive bio-writer in one of the British film reference books (I forget which) noted that Lee Remick was basically quite badly used by Hollywood and that after such early career successes as ANATOMY OF A MURDER and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES, she somehow wound up being relegated to "girlfriend" roles in mid-60s comedies (e.g. this one and other fluffier fare like THE WHEELER DEALERS) or was cast as the "wife" (THE DETECTIVE--well, OK, it's a wife role with a twist--she's a nymphomaniac--BUT it was basically a secondary role nonetheless).

It was no wonder that by the 70s, she basically became a TV actress. At least that medium offered her meatier and,yes, starring roles. For years, she seemed locked in a rivalry with Liz Montgomery for the title of Queen of the TV Movies. And by that point, that probably wasn't such a bad niche to find yourself in.

But in 1967, you could say that Remick was floundering a bit. NO WAY TO TREAT A LADY is one of those 60s films that tries very hard to be sophisticated but never quite pulls it off. The laughs are pretty paltry in this would-be black comedy. The Jewish mother jokes are there, the slightly naughty gay jokes are there, the Catholic jokes are there. They seem pretty dated and, well, almost quaint now.

But Rod Steiger DOES get a chance to chew the scenery with the best of them. He's the real reason to watch this movie, and his role as the homicidal ham-of-a-thousand-faces is one that rightly revels in. Steiger pulls more accents in this one flick than Meryl has managed in her entire career. It's over-the-top fun and makes you wish that Hollywood has treated him a little better too.
