The Strange One (1957)


 

 
Students faced with an ethical dilemma about the dehumanization associated with the tradition of hazing, at a military college in the Southern United States, take matters in their own hands.
 
Unusual military academy drama with some debut performances of Actors Studio including an especially vicious Be Gazzara is clearly stage-bound but suspenseful.
 
Halliwell*: "A weird and unsavoury but rather compelling melodrama which unreels like a senior version of Tom Brown's Schooldays." 

Maltin***: "Bizarre military school account of far-out Gazzara's peculiar hold over various underclassmen."
