Shock Corridor

Ambitious journalist Johnny Barrett (Peter Breck), desperate to win a Pulitzer Prize, poses as a madman to gain admission into a psychiatric hospital where a murder has been committed. With the help of his exotic-dancer girlfriend Cathy and Dr. Fong, a psychiatrist, Johnny uncovers the truth behind the unsolved murder through conversations with three disturbed witnesses, each driven insane by a particular stress: war, racism, and nuclear annihilation.
