Excellent two-man character study., 24 May 2001
Author:
sultana-1 (sultana@commonsense.com) from NYC, NY
Bobby Darin gives the performance of his career in this excellent if
virtually unknown film.He is 100% believable as an American Nazi who
tries
to play psychiatrist Poitier like a violin with some success.
Poitier is equally marvelous as the psychiatrist who must work extremely
hard to take himself out of the process so he can concentrate on helping
his
patient.I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end by both
actors'
incredibly sexy performances.Peter Falk is excellent in the small role of
Poitier's young protege.
