Poor Susan George is not really cut out to be a babysitter as she screams at virtually anything (except, oddly enough, when she's being raped).

| About the only decent shot in the film |
Collinson was not a great director and the film is full of tricksy and annoying shots through furniture and an endearing over-use of the zoom lens, which really dates it accurately. The one effective moment is when film cuts between George and Ian Bannen's wife Honor Blackman.

Also features George Cole, looking somewhat bored, Dennis Waterman, John Gregson and (briefly) Roger Lloyd Pack.
It's so bad it's funny, e.g scene where police marksman says "I can't get a clear shot" and the very next shot shows Bannen clearly visible and alone at the window. And then the marksman just puts the gun down. Man, it's bad, but great fun for that reason.
The little boy is Collinson's son, really named Tara, and some of the scenes involving him must have been quite frightening.
