U.S., 1961
Directed by Jack Garfein
Starring Carroll Baker, Ralph Meeker, Mildred Dunnock, Jean Stapleton
Approx. 112 min. 35mm.

College girl Carroll Baker bails out from under domineering mom Mildred Dunnock to the Lower East Side, but still can’t handle the trauma of her brutal rape in a park. Will similarly lost-soul/garage mechanic Ralph Meeker (KISS ME DEADLY) prove savior or...? Second and last film by Baker’s then husband Garfein, with score by no less than Aaron Copland, and moody photography of a sizzling NYC summer by the great Eugene Schüfttan (METROPOLIS, THE HUSTLER).
