This combination of searing melodrama and subversive social critique is
one of the key American films of the 1950s, a high point in the careers
of lead actor James Mason and director Nicholas Ray. Mason gives one of
his best ever performances as Ed Avery, a happily married schoolteacher
who agrees to take a new 'miracle drug' when diagnosed with a
potentially fatal disease. It is not long before the medication begins
producing malevolent and murderous side-effects that bring to the fore
all of Ed's long-repressed frustrations with his life. Barbara Rush
plays Ed's devoted wife, Christopher Olsen is his cruelly punished son
and Walter Matthau appears as his faithful colleague.
Extramaterial
- Feature commentary by Edward Buscombe
- New filmed conversation about the film and Nicholas Ray between Jim Jarmusch (fan, friend and assistant on the last film Ray made) and Jonathan Rosenbaum
- Extracts from a 1969 interview with Nicholas Ray
- Original theatrical trailer The DVD contains a fully illustrated 22-page colour booklet with essays by Geoff Andrew, author of The Films of Nicholas Ray (BFI, 2004); Jeanine Basinger and Susan Ray, and biographies
