This film is chilling not only in it's excellent portrayals by Bobby Darin and Sidney Portier as a Nazi seditionist (Darin) and prison psychiatrist (Portier), but in Darin's relevations during his sessions with the psychiatrist. Darin describes how easy it was for people like him to spread their beliefs, recruit members who felt as they did, to infiltrate the hearts, minds, and spirits of those who felt vulnerable and disenfranchised and turn them towards their cause. It's chilling because it shows how even today, those same methods that worked then, still remain effective. One needs only to look so far as those under the spell of Trump and Trumpism. I look at reasonable people I know, family, friends, co-workers, people of faith, educated colleagues and wonder how they could fall under the influence of a man, a cult and be willing to do whatever necessary to fulfill their goals for their vision of the world, then this extraordinary film will give you some insight, perhaps some answers into how this could happen. If you ever wonder how Nazi's or modern day insurrectionists could happen, as nd wonder if it could happen again, then watch this film. Much like the main character that Bobby Darin portrays, you too will also will have difficulty sleeping at night.
