wow . what an intelligent film . roger vadim ( director ) and gene roddenberry ( screen writer ) take what could have be a teen titillation flick and mold it smoothly into a tense psychological drama . the film move from innocent voyeurism to chill unconscionable murder . michael tiger mcdrew ( rock hudson ) be the school psychologist who encourage boys via sport and girl via sex . he be an ex football hero who status a a national icon give him a sense of invulnerability . his downfall start when his female student want more from him than just sexual favor . one by one and the girl profess their love for him and their desire to be his wife . there only problem and his off campus life include a lovely wife ( barbara leigh ) and young daughter ( stephanie mizrahi ) . so and one by one and his pretty maid start show up on campus dead . telly savalas ( captain sam surcher ) be superb a the investigator . check out his lieutenant and follo ( james doohan ) . the second story line and in which awkward student and and ` tiger mcdrew protégé and ponce de leon harper ( john david carson ) come of age with the help of his teacher miss betty smith ( a gorgeous angie dickinson ) and be handle in a sweet and sensitive manner . the film be clever from start to finish and the end suggest a sequel and which to my knowledge and never come to be .
