Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pretty Poison (1968)

Anthony Perkins is a young man recently released on probation after being held as a juvenile for arson/manslaughter. He’s not quite ready for the real world, though.  He pulls a pretty high school senior into his life by convincing her he’s a CIA agent.  I was never quite sure if he was deliberately lying to her or was simply delusional. One thing’s for certain: he picked the wrong girl.

Unexpectedly good.
