Cult filmmaker Richard Hilliard (Violent Midnight) co-wrote and directed this dour 1959 tale about an unnamed young outcast (future soap star Karl Light) who stalks and then kidnaps a psychiatrist's young daughter (Jean Evans in her only film role). Light's character is contrasted with creepy voyeur Ben Brown (Carl Collyer), whose status as boarder enables him to ogle Evans under her father's nose. Though the script begs sympathy for the misguided stalker while condemning the socially accepted sleazeball, the campaign was obviously intended to appeal to an audience of Ben Browns.
