Join The Deuce in June as together we part the curtains of concealment and – orb-glazed – aghast agape agog! – gaze unflinchingly upon the naked face of Fatherly failure… of patriarchal pretensions pummeled to paralyzing perplexion… too transfixed to glance away… try not! For there is no shielding your eyes from A REFLECTION OF FEAR!! Together we shall drown – The Deuce and you… this June – in a deliriously dreamlike descent to the depths of a daughter’s undying love for her dear daddy… that may well be as deadly as it is undying!!??!!
Admittedly attractively “manly” (being Robert Shaw after all) yet dud of a deadbeat gone-for-long dad – in need of divorce to remarry (Sally Kellerman!) – drops by the sprawling mansion of Matriarchy in which the women he’d abandoned reside… namely his still wed-to wife, her mother, and, most notably, his now 16-yr-old timidly taciturn, doll-doting, microbe-magnifying dweeby daughter (an already 20-something pre-Eastwood’d Sondra Locke!!) – direly disrupting the delicate balance already barely held and dovetailing said dweeby daughter into a desirous delirium for said sad-sack yet strangely sexy dad whose freaked-out fiancée fears the feeling may be more than a tad too mutual!! And… amidst this miasma of madness… a masked murderer roams about the grounds… doing murdering!!
