흥미로운 사실
Pressure Point is a 1962 American psychological drama film directed and co-written by Hubert Cornfield. It stars Sidney Poitier and Bobby Darin, about a prison psychiatrist treating an American Nazi sympathizer during World War II.
Production
The film was produced under the working title Point Blank, and was based on the 1955 casebook "The Fifty-Minute Hour" by Robert Lindner. The characters are not identified in the cast list by name, but only as doctor, patient and so on.
Poitier believed that Stanley Kramer cast him for political reasons, i.e. placing a black man in a role that wasn't race-specific, believing that it was more important than any box office. In his autobiography, he noted "obviously a picture about a black psychiatrist treating white patients was not the kind of sure-fire package that would send audiences rushing into theatres across the country.
