This 1963 film is harsh, grotesque, and violent-and, incidentally, brilliant in a very original way - Chicago Reader
About this Event

Join us for screening of the 1963 Samuel Fuller film followed by a discussion lead by Professor Mark Bates

Determined to pull in the Pulitzer Prize, reporter Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) will go to any length necessary to win the coveted award. When he learns of an unsolved M**der committed at a mental institution, Barrett devises a scheme to solve it and earn himself recognition. With the assistance of a psychiatrist and his girlfriend (Constance Towers), Barrett convinces the doctors at the institution to commit him. Once inside, he begins his investigation -- and gradually loses his mind.
