Entertainment Reviews:
A complex, fascinating noir that exposes the grim truths behind the shiny, fragile façade of post-war America.
Senses of Cinema
It is strong meat for the heavy drama addicts, tellingly produced and played to develop tight excitement.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Catherine McSweeney (Elizabeth Montgomery), after being viciously beaten and robbed by a street gang, is transformed into a mentally and physically damaged crime victim. She uses her position at a San Francisco TV station to voice on-air her newfound and paranoid opinions about the under-privileged and disillusioned youth she had previously defended her whole life. Her comments create a firestorm of protest, which threatens every aspect of her life.
