Nicholas Ray's corruscating portrait of suburban American family hell even outdoes Douglas Sirk, with the addition of drug addiction. Naturally it flopped, but producer-co-writer-star James Mason's passionate belief in the project is evidenced in this trailer, which he presents. Based on a 1955 New Yorker article, this is one of the essential movies of the period, full of telling markers of the era in both detail and behavior.
