In Shock Corridor, the
great American writer-director-producer Samuel
Fuller masterfully charts the uneasy terrain between sanity and madness.
Seeking a Pulitzer Prize, reporter Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck) has himself committed to a mental hospital to
investigate a murder. As he closes in on the killer, insanity closes in on him.
Constance Towers costars as Johnny’s
coolheaded stripper girlfriend. With its startling commentary on racism and
other hot-button issues in sixties America and its daring photography by
Stanley Cortez, Shock Corridor has had far-reaching influence.
(USA, 1963, 101 mins, English | Dir.
