Pressure Point, 1963

Tweet

You can't go wrong with a movie starring Bobby Darin and Sidney Poitier, even if it is in Black and White, (which I enjoy). Pressure Point is a story within a story, within a story. It features a prison psychiatrist's encounters with a young fascist, imprisoned for sedition. It recalls some ugly times in America, including the great depression, and the rise, and bs spewed by the German American Bund. I'm not going to spoil this movie for anybody. If you hate fascism, you'll like the movie. If you, or your children, don't understand aspects of the movies period in history, have them see it. I remember watching this movie with my mother, and learning really what the Nazi's and American fascists were, and sadly, are.
