I don’t know much about Ray Danton, but his appealing appearance and thoughtful acting do help to prevent this somber and intricate story from becoming completely uninteresting. The film establishes early on that he's been discharged from a mental institution (despite the initial reservations of his doctor, who was pressured into agreeing by the hospital board). It’s evident that this man, called "Roy," experiences periods of disorientation, and his history restricts his prospects in his new, lively setting. “Roy” boards a bus traveling along the coast, stopping at a garage where he quickly connects with "Hank" (Harry Jackson) and "Amy" (Merry Anders), and chooses to rent a cabin at a nearby motel. It’s here that he meets "Susan" (Colleen Miller), who is the daughter of the owner, "Loren" (Willis Bouchey). There's an obvious attraction between them, and they soon begin a courtship with their friends from the garage. A letter arrives and is read aloud by the father—its contents could alter everything; it describes his condition and triggers him to lash out at his guest, resulting in a deliberate display of anger... This serves as a harsh criticism of how people with mental health conditions are treated when they’re released without adequate preparation or support into a society that isn't ready to offer the understanding, acceptance, and kindness they need. At times "Roy" seems like a child confronted by an adult world filled with intense emotions (even when those feelings aren't warranted), and Danton portrays this aspect of his character well. Miller also provides solid support, and the script and direction largely allow us to fill in the details of the man’s increasingly difficult situation ourselves. The musical score is excessive; there’s too much dramatic and loud music trying to build tension that already exists on its own, and the film's rhythm isn't always ideal, but otherwise, this is a surprisingly insightful, low-budget drama that deserves viewing.
