Pressure Point - BluRay [Blu-ray]

Pressure Point unfolds when a young psychiatrist (Peter Falk, TV's Columbo), exasperated by his failed attempts to help a black patient who hates whites asks to be reassigned. In a story told in flashback, his seasoned superior (Sidney Poitier, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner) recounts his own experience during the war when he treated a Nazi youth (Bobby Darin, Too Late Blues) who hated blacks. A dark tale told through stark black & white imagery courtesy of Academy Award-winning cinematographer Ernest Haller (Hell's Five Hours, Mildred Pierce, Gone with the Wind), Pressure Point features fine tuned performances under the assured direction of Hubert Cornfield (The Night of the Following Day) from a screenplay co-written by Cornfield and S. Lee Pogostin based on a story by Robert M. Lindner.

A prison psychiatrist (the legendary Sidney Poitier) is charged with treating a hate-filled young man (Bobby Darin), and as he probes the patient's nightmares, he realizes that the boy's twisted visions masks a lust for unspeakable violence.

Based on the untold true story. In the 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Pressure follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Group Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as they face an impossible choice-launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether. Also starring Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis.
