Strait-Jacket (1964)

A woman is released after spending 20 years in an institution for the criminally insane. She moves in with her daughter and some relatives, in a farm house. Her adjustment to normal life is not without incidents.

Effective (and a bit crude) psychiatric thriller. Despite its obvious psychological simplifications, it is interesting to meditate afterwards about one's own reactions to the characters and events of the film.

Rating: 55
