It was brilliant in its theme and the production was very good for B&W in the sixties on probably a very low budget. George C. Scott, in one of his beginning roles as a film actor, was SUPERB. No one truly failed in this film. It's only, possibly, that the current film preservation experts have not, or have been unable, for one reason or another, to commit this unique and suspenseful motion picture to DVD format for us, and many others, in future generations, to enjoy once and again.
