Samuel Fuller turns a critical eye on the state of mental health treatment in the United States to, uh… well, not really.  Mostly he just uses a stage theater's idea of a mental hospital as a narrative device for exploring three major American anxieties in the 1960s.  Want to complain about nukes?  Have a patient do a one-man show for a while about how we went insane after building them.  And you know what, that's the tame one of the three.  For a B-movie about a reporter going undercover in a mental ward to solve a murder, things get wild.
