IMDb plot summary: When a mentally disturbed young man tells a pretty girl that he's a secret agent, she believes him, and murder and mayhem ensue.
Directed by Noel Black. Starring Anthony Perkins, Tuesday Weld, Beverly Garland, and John Randolph.
I... have no idea what this movie is doing. A huge part of it is how much it tries (I think) to paint Anthony Perkins' character as sympathetic, but he's extremely unpleasant in his efforts as an adult to lie to and seduce a high school girl. I can't tell if I'm supposed to read the couple's love for each other as genuine in any way. I just can't figure out what I'm *supposed* to think of these characters or get out of this, and I definitely didn't get anything on my own, so it all just ended up muddled.
