Fear Strikes Out

Anthony Perkins is at his best when he’s being tormented by one of his parents in a movie.

six years after this movie, Jimmy Piersall hit his hundredth home run (off of Dallas Green) and ran the bases backwards. sixty-three years after this movie, I asked my son if he wanted to play a game of catch and he was like no way dad it's hot out.

The music tries to fool you into thinking this is more melodramatic then it really is. You can almost see the guys sitting in the editing bay just going "Hey, here's an emotional moment...lets put in a overbearing orchestra section in!" *high fives all around* Still, this movie is justified cause Hitchcock saw it and found out about Perkins and thus Norman Bates was born. Also, that dad needed to be kicked in the balls.
