Viewing Notes
Amusing that Gene Roddenberry wrote such a horned up and questionable screenplay. Also, this movie is only a few beats away from being a giallo and I wish they had gone in that direction rather than the all the student / teacher stuff. Rock Hudson is such a sleazebag in this, too.
Even tho this is a product of its time it will never not be wild to me that they don’t shut down the high school when a student is murdered, not just killed but murdered. And ofc they still do nothing when the next student is found murdered. Perhaps it’s just a movie thing but yeah I don’t think things just continue as usual with students are being killed and on school grounds no less!
Gotta love Telly Savalas just doing another rendition on his Kojak character. And just smoking like a chimney in the high school. LOL
