Directed by Noel Black • 1968 • United States
Starring Anthony Perkins, Tuesday Weld, Beverly Garland
“I met you on Monday, fell in love with you on Tuesday, Wednesday I was unfaithful, Thursday we killed a guy together. How about that for a crazy week?” Anthony Perkins and Tuesday Weld make for the most chaotic screen couple of the 1960s in this subversive, relentlessly offbeat cult sleeper, a barbed satire of small-town American “innocence.” He plays a delusional arsonist out on parole, while she’s the seemingly guileless girl-next-door drum majorette whom he draws into his paranoid scheme to destroy a chemical factory. But what happens when she turns out to be even more unhinged than he is?
