Twisted Nerve (1968)

"Martin's dead. He's been bad. N- not Georgie. Bad, bad Martin. And now... I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep... if I die before I wake... if I die before I... wake..."

Bennett was never prettier‚ the Boulting bros never #more focused and challenging‚ but time has not been kind to some of the language and attitudes on display here. actually time isn't even #really the main issue: plenty of people were upset by this film's depiction of developmental disabilities and its pseudo scientific #exploitation plot on first release (so much so that the producers added a spoken disclaimer to the beginning of the film). it's undoubtedly #objectionable in its broader thrust and its central conceit and i quite get why that will be enough to turn most people off it and even #earn their enmity. but get past it (if you can‚ if you choose) and there are still things of value here‚ imo. the supporting cast is #particularly glittery‚ with Foster (repellent)‚ Whitelaw (complex and quietly tragic) and Peerzada (eternally patient and dignified in his #dealings with ceaseless racism and ignorance) the particular stand outs. it's handsomely shot‚ too‚ with Roy B flexing his creative muscles #a little in a rare aside from his usual comedy film projects. idk there's something here‚ i think. but watch forewarned and prepared
