Was any Hollywood-era director nearly as ambitious as Samuel Fuller? Not unlike his protagonist, Fuller treads the fine line between genius and insanity, taking aim at the American empire, entrenched racism, the Red Scare, and the war machine, all within the walls of a mental hospital. It doesn't entirely work but you have to respect the ambition. Beautifully filmed as well, such sharp B&W and silhouettes everywhere.

Depictions of mental illness were ludicrous. The plot is hair-brained at best. The nympho ward was particularly inane. A lot of it is loud, stupid, and highly contrived. Some of the acting performances were awful. The story is bizarre and scrambled. It was kind of funny that it's a B&W but has color daydream sequences. Perhaps the journalist suffered from sleep deprivation? The black KKK guy was way over the top. Much of it was tedious and tiresome, but like a train wreck, you can't look away.

"tanrı yok etmek istediği kişinin önce aklını alır" bu cümleyle başlayıp bitiyor. Akıl hastanesinde işlenen bir cinayeti çözüp Pulitzer ödülünü almak isteyen Johnny Barrett, akıl hastası numarası yaparak kendini hastaneye aldırır. Fakat bu arada gittikçe akılını yitirir. Hastanede eşini öldüren ve opera söyleyen bir adam, hala kendini 2ds sanan bir adam, kendisi zenciyken zencilere düşman olmuş bir ku klux klan mensubu adam, ünlü bir bilim adamıyken zekasın

Fascinating film, even more so today than I suspect it was in 1963. We live in a world of the therapeutic diagnosis now--everyone has something, as people increasingly see themselves as sick or diseased. The film reveals the disturbing ways in which playing a part, adopting a schema of trauma (or whatever else) can lead to devastating, life-altering consequences.

A good idea with a stupid set up made enthralling by Sam Fuller's direction. The overacting and pretty much non existent plot can't detract from the raw power that is shown on the screen. By far the best Sam Fuller film I've seen.

This would be an upper tier movie but some of the ideas within the hospital are just too hokey. Ending is kind of interesting tho.
