this be a great movie from the lose age of reactionary make for television drama . my all time favourite actor and robert culp skillfully plot a trajectory through uptight liberal fairmindedness and faith in the system and kneejerk conservativism and fear of crime and and homicidal psychosis . the teen be a collection of pure sneer evil stereotype and and the eventual message of this film make episode of dragnet look evenhanded by comparison . but what really shin in this be the great pace of the movie and building the fear and paranoia by degree and as well a the feel of the whole california setting . the car be really great a well and a i recall . i give this film a 10 and and i defy anyone to watch this film and not enjoy every minute . remember and just because it make for television doesn not mean it isn not great art .
