Plot Summary
Easygoing but psychotic Dennis is released from jail, where he has served a sentence for his complicity in a suspicious death. Wandering through an Ozzie & Harriet-type small town, Dennis makes friends with a seemingly normal high schooler, Sue Ann. He lies to her about his imaginary career as a secret agent, and she is thrilled to the point of joining him in his further adventures. Their developing relationship becomes a lethal combination as Sue Ann uses Dennis's undying devotion and his bragging about being a secret agent for her own evil ends.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Like any good study in couple's psychopathology, a familiar relationship is visible here, but in a parodic, mutated form.
Fresh: The film is strongest when focusing on the two perfect-foil leads as they blissfully indulge paranoid fantasies about poison in the local water supply and plot covert counterespionage operations.
Fresh: Showing its social jaundice between grotty bursts of violence, this acidly comic late-'60s noir lets Tuesday Weld's teen queen with a taste for mayhem out-psycho Anthony Perkins.
Customer Reviews
Dark-yet Funny!
Very rarely does a film come along that shocks you and makes you want to laugh come along. This film is rarely seen, but it's a great one to watch. Tony Perkins does a magnificent job recapturing the psychotic mind, but with subtle differences. He really makes the movie. All I have to say is-Poor Dennis!
