...startling new problem of keeping far-out candidates like Homer out of newscasts arose because of the Federal Communications Commission's overly cautious interpretation of the Communications Act, which declares that any station that lets any legally qualified candidate use its air time must give equal opportunities to competing candidates. Until last February, this provision was interpreted to cover political campaigning. Then a perennial also-ran in Chicago named Lar Daly (TIME, March 30) claimed that it also governed straight newscasts, charged that WBBM-TV had violated the act by not giving him equal time after showing film clips...
Brad (Richard Hayes) is a Greenwich Village intellectual ("At least. I'm out of work"); Jan (Tani Seitz) is a proper Gramercy Square. Brad is the editor of a far-out little mag called Nerves; Jan has read it, "both issues." When the pair discovers that each has been "in analysis, but not now," they get married and begin making atonal music together.

Among far-out fields to be studied: microcircuitry (e.g., reducing the chassis of a satellite television unit to a few cubic inches) and electroluminescence (e.g., picturing all of a plane's instrument readings on a cockpit window so the pilot will not have to glance away even when landing or taking off).

...screenplay borrows many of its keenest scenes from Meyer Levin's Broadway version of his own bestselling casebook of the crime (TIME, Nov. 12, 1956), preserves in the film (103 minutes) all the essential details of the play (180 minutes), eliminates only a few of the far-out psychiatric references. One important addition: a taut sense of dramatic sequence...
