The legendary Sidney Poitier sizzles in an "electrifying role" (Show Business Illustrated) as a prison psychiatrist who clashes with a racist inmate (Bobby Darin) in this "explosive and provocative" (Citizen News) drama that "packs a powerful wallop" (LA Herald Examiner)! A prison doctor is charged with treating a hate-filled young man who's been jailed for sedition. As he probes the patient's nightmares, the psychiatrist realizes his twisted visions masks a lust for violence. But the inmate has become a novel prisoner, and unless the doctor can convince officials that he's dangerous, he'll soon be back on the streets. A dark tale told through stark black and white imagery courtesy of cinematographer Ernest Haller, "Pressure Point" features fine-tuned performances under the assured direction of Hubert Cornfield, from a screenplay co-written by Cornfield and S. Lee Pogostin and based on a short story by Robert M. Lindner.
