No Way to Treat A Lady is A Treat to Moviegoers ***1/2, 2 March 2008
9/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Rod Steiger was sensational in this 1968 film. His ability to disguise himself and play so many different parts as an insane killer was just fabulous to watch.

Yes, the film was definitely an eerie won but you never know what's coming next.

Eileen Heckart was just fabulous as the Jewish mother of her son-the police officer, played so well by George Segal.

You just wonder when Heckart, Segal and girlfriend, Lee Remick, will be drawn into the web of this serial killer who seems to strike without reason.

Who can ever forget his first venture into killing disguised as a priest?

Rod Steiger had a definite field day with this film. Dealing with the macabre, it was truly a memorable film.
