This film was created by a cast of very talented people, actors, producer, director and author. The picture is filmed on location in San Francisco and shows how the city looked during the 1950's. This film reminded me of "Targets" with Boris Karloff, where a person decides to take out his target practice out on human subjects. In this film, women seem to be the problem with this killer who is lacking a sex life because he just doesn't seem to trust any female person in his life. Adolphe Menjou (Police Lt. Frank Kafka) plays an outstanding role as a very frustrated police officer who has a hard time tying to figure out just what is the motive for this crime spree through out San Francisco. Richard Kiley,(Dr. James G. Kent) tries to assist the police lieutenant by indicating this is really a sex crime because of an abused childhood and also a history of attacks on the female society in general. Arthur Franz,(Eddie Miller) gives an outstanding performance as a very mixed up person who just can't seem to get along with GIRLS Period. This is a great film from 1952 and very well worth your time to view and enjoy how this subject was handled way back Fifty Five (55) years ago.
