A young psychiatrist (Peter Falk) in an institution complains about a difficult case to his chief (Sidney Poitier). The chief recounts a difficult patient (Bobby Darin) from his earlier days.
This is notable for the two lead actors. Teen idol Bobby Darin is playing a racist Nazi thug. Poitiet is playing a black professional in a position of authority. I would cut down some of the cheesier flashback recollections and concentrate on the more compelling ones. There are some compelling issues here and this movie handles them with most earnestness. It is a little high-minded at times but I like the inevitability of the ending.
