"A metaphysical murder mystery, a gothic war movie and a cosmic love story. You have never seen anything quite like it." Santa Monica Evening Outlook
Editor's Note
A secret government center for high-ranking officials who have had mental breakdowns is the location of this unsettling drama about a brilliant, unorthodox psychiatrist who turns out to be crazier than his patients. William Peter Blatty won the Golden Globe in 1980 for Best Motion Picture Screenplay.
Plot Summary
Insightful drama about the inhabitants of a military asylum for insane soldiers, and the army psychoanalyst hired to help them. Unfortunately the doctor is more demented than his patients.
