Toian Matchinga

A young wife and mother, bored with day-to-day life in New York City and neglected by her husband, slips into increasingly outrageous fantasies: her mother breaking into the apartment, an explorer's demonstration of tribal fertility music at a party causing strange transformations, and joining terrorists to plant explosives in the Statue of Liberty.

『ダーティ・ハリー』ほか、骨太なアクション演出に定評のあるドン・シーゲル監督、初期の傑作。リチャード・ウィドマーク演じる刑事が、スパニッシュ・ハーレム地区を舞台に活躍するハード・ボイルドな逸品だ。
