A complex study of women undergoing treatment in a state mental health care facility. Their private lives and past associations are explored and
used as stepping-stones back to normality. Robert Stack, often described as cold and detacvhed on scren, rre-invented himself here and provides a warm, compassionate and urturing performance. Joan Crawford is ansoluter perfection as the nursing supervisor in conflict with the changing
times, polly bergen is very, very good as the distrurbed housewife who blames her child's death upon herself, robert vaughn is touching and quite
moving as Bergen's concerned and loving husband and herbert marshall is a most thoughtful hospital administrsator who debates the professional decisions made withjin his life. Janis Paige, Barbara Barrie and Sharon Hugeny are equally impressive and most convincing as well. Well worth the
viewing..

Really enjoyed watching this movie but don't care to watch it over and over again like I have some of her other movies. I have no regrets.

I love watching the opening scene of Polly Bergen having a breakdown at the movie theatre. Joan Crawford is fiery in this post Baby Jane role. Movie arrived in very good condition with pristine packaging.

Joan plays Nurse Lucretia Terry in this 1960's shocker. Lucretia Terry is an unsympathetic and careless nurse, working in a mental hospital. I think the film would have been a lot better if Joan's character was developed more. It also lacked some type of substance and there wasn't really a climax. My favorite scene is when Joan is giving the self-defense class. She looks so cute in the black leotard. If you'd like to see Joan in a picture that she made later in her career (her older ones weren't all bad), then I recommend "Straight-Jacket." Nevertheless, even a bad picture (like "Caretakers") is still good if Joan Crawford is in it!

I wish all mental illness could be treated as effectively as shown in this film.

A very good Movie overall. Well worth buying for sure. Susan Oliver and Robert Stack were brilliant! I Liked it very much.

An enjoyable melodrama with some insight into how those with mental issues were treated. This was Ms Crawford's next movie (completed) after "whatever happened to baby jane" and she is fab as a steely and determined nurse. The movie is worth watching for the judu scence alone
