I was looking forward to viewing this movie based on the storyline and the interesting cast of well-known actors but it just didn't register with me at all. It started off well with the black/white photography and the street scenes that seemed to typify New York in the mid-1900's; however, once the movie became a serious case of physical and mental harassment on a subway, it had no impact whatsoever. It was all too exaggerated and unbelievable to make any sense. In the end, the plot took a sudden turn that made the subway scene look all the more ridiculous. I did like the appearances of Ed McMahon, Thelma Ritter, Beau Bridges, and Martin Sheen - in his first movie role. Other than that, I could have easily taken a pass on this one.
