There's a hint of noir style here, resulting in some of the film's few good moments, but overall it's just too silly to enjoy on any level besides camp. Any movie of this era that attempts to tackle psychiatry invariably simplifies it far too much, both the condition and the cure. A lot of the plot is just too convenient and/or unexplained and there's not much dramatic tension. Thaxter does a fairly good job in the lead, no one is very satisfying, including Trotter as the alter ego's voiceover.
