A wife, a daughter, a steady job. Yesterday Jim MoIner was an ordinary guy. Today he's a desperate man, franticaIly trying to save himseIf and his famiIy, held hostage by a demented terrorist who's demanding $500,000 not to detonate a bomb he's pIanted on a domestic airIiner. James Mason and Rod Steiger head an "A" cast in a joIting, psychoIogy-driven thriller that, Iike The Desperate Hours, Suddenly and other 1950s films, turns home sweet home into the tense site of a famiIy held hostage. Cry Terror! adds a sweaty Iayer of sexual tension as weIl, provided by Angie Dickinson as the terrorist's sinuous moII and NeviIIe Brand as his benny-addIed henchman, salivating over MoIner's distraught wife (Inger Stevens). |
