I imagine Charles Whitman saw this years before he thought of the UT tower

Seeing this you'll get an idea of what's in the mind of people who aren't quite raised right.

This is just a beautifully filmed little noir. The San Fransisco scenery is just stunning. A really well put together film about a guy who just doesn't like women who talk down to him. You can see him seething underneath as he slunks away in those instances but you just know that he's gonna pop...and he does.

This one all comes down to getting people help for psychological problems early on in life. Some go through the system and never get what they need in the way of some kinda therapy and they eventually...fall through the cracks. This guy wants the help but it's just not their.

I can't say enough at how well this film looks. Add substance and a really good story and that makes for a worthwhile watch. Give this one a go.
