#SomethingWild, 1961, starring #CarrollBaker (#Lolita) is ultimately a perverse story with a wtf ending.

It's artistically and technically well done, but it's fundamentally a toxic mess that could have been an interesting psychological drama, instead.

A good thing is there are more #Black people naturally in the background than in most #movies and #tv #shows set in #NewYork today.

Also good to see familiar faces like #EdithStapleton, #DorisRoberts, and #CliftonJames in bit parts.

#RIP #GeorgeMaharis (1928–2023)

#Actor best remembered for the early '60s #TV series #Route66, which earned him an #Emmy nod in 1962.

Career derailed by a bout with hepatitis that forced him to leave the #show.

His handful of #movies include:

#JohnSturges' bioterrorism thriller THE SATAN BUG.

#GordonDouglas' mystery drama SYLVIA, w #CarrollBaker.

#Hollywood career further hindered by a couple of #gay sting arrests in the '70s.
