Pressure Point - DVD

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.

Previously a pastor and director of youth projects and camps, Baron volunteered to fight in the very first days of the war in Ukraine. Embedded cameramen follow Baron's platoon as he struggles each day to balance the biblical prerogatives of defending the defensless, and loving his enemies. Under Pressure shows the immense toll of the war on Baron's life while also showing the dramatic impact a life lived with faith and honor has on the people around you.
