Additional Information

Additional Information
Release Date: June 14 , 1966 @ New Embassy theater, Manhattan

Distributor: Paramount

Oscar nomination: Best Original Screenplay

One of the most disturbing films Ive ever seen. This was produced independently by actor Cornel Wilde-who starred and directed. Paramount picked it up and had a Summer hit with it.

Poorly received by critics of the day, it has since been reevaluated and is considered a classic now.


Trivia: There was some controversy when this was nominated for an Oscar as Best Screenplay. Not because anyone felt it was undeserved (although its mostly silent) but because they felt it belonged in the Adapted category. Which film recently had the samr controversy than also found it in the Best Original Screenplay category. It starred an actor who received an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor that same year for the same film?
