...fluent camerawork of Robert Frank and Etienne Becker, Rooks served as his own writer, director and star, turning himself inside out on the screen. He traces his course from mixed-up rich man's son along a dizzying downward spiral, through some hard-edged therapy at a Paris sanatorium, and toward the bright end of self-realization.

...that the poorest sugar-cane workers' children would get the same medical and dental examinations as city youngsters. Now there are clinics for pregnant women and for well babies-along with proper care for the sick. Where TB patients once languished for lack of treatment in a sanatorium, health workers now give out supplies of isoniazid to be taken at home, and then they check to make sure the pills are really taken...
