Tom Nardini from Winter A-Go-Go is Mexican-American student Tony Perez (not "The Hook") in Maury Dexter's pulpy yet unsparing focus on Caucasian racism that, 57 years later, still manages to piss off a few bigots. Filmed in Tucson, Arizona, the American International release also stars handyman-burning Patty McCormack (The Mini-Skirt Mob) as the non-racist love interest, winsome Joanna Frank (The Savage Seven), A Martinez from Jimmy P: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian, and David Macklin from Laurence Harvey's Welcome to Arrow Beach as the lead heavy. Screenwriter James Gordon White penned more deranged dandies for such auteurs as Ted Mikels (Ten Violent Women), Lee Frost (The Thing With Two Heads), and David L. Hewitt (The Tormentors). The soundtrack was provided by Les ("Quiet Village") Baxter, motorcycle maestro Harley Hatcher of "Satan" infamy, and the short-lived, Hatcher-produced psych band The American Revolution.
