Genres & Description

Drama

6.8 / 10

Mary Ann Robinson, a young woman living in The Bronx, New York, with her neurotic, overbearing mother and kindly but ineffectual stepfather, is raped while walking home one night. Keeping the attack to herself, Mary Ann runs away, seeking to lose herself in Manhattan by renting a seedy flat and taking a job in a dime store. Overwhelmed by people's hostility and her own despair, Mary Ann tries to jump off the Manhattan Bridge, only to be stopped by Mike, a garage mechanic who takes her back to his modest basement apartment nearby. At first appreciative of Mike's kindness, Mary Ann becomes terrified when he refuses to let her leave. Is Mike really Mary Ann's rescuer - or is he another rapist?

Just finished watching on TCM early Sunday morning. The trailer does the film no justice but I guess it was trying to appeal to the trippy psychedelic youth of the 60s. The movie used a lot of none dialogue action sequences to tell the story with very little dramatic dialogue throughout. The scenery and living conditions added to the depressive nature of the central characters emotional state and helped express the desperate wantinf to be free and clean. Overall it was a nice sleeper film to watch on a lazy night in. - @Sunday, August 26, 2018 10:12 AM

Carroll Baker as a victim of rape who rises above her problems and survives it all. Saw this film, and it was so tense at times, and I felt sorry for the central character. Interesting movie. - @Wednesday, October 5, 2016 8:28 PM
