VIOLENT MIDNIGHT

VIOLENT MIDNIGHT - 1963

Wow talk about a B-Movie! This one takes the cake! I have never heard of Del Tenney before, but now that I've seen this movie, I have to kneel down and bow to his GREATNESS!
This has all the elements of a made-for- drive-in movie. It's filled with violence, sex and nudity, that top "Psycho" in every way.

"Violent Midnight" portrayed women as foolish sex- starved objects and the men shown as strong, angry but violent.

Elliot Freeman played by Lee Phillips is the son of a wealthy man. After returning home from the Korean war and the death of his father, Elliot became a recluse. He lives alone in the family's dying mansion, where he paints his anger and pain away.

Elliot is not only wealthy but his good looks make him a target for the sex starved females who attend an all girl college nearby his estate. Later he became the murder suspect of his model Delores. She was in love with Elliot while she was carrying the child of her ex boyfriend, a local hoodlum named Charlie (James Farentino). Charlie is a bum who drives the laundry truck in an out of the all girl college where Elliot's step sister is a psychology major.

Charlie is also popular with the popular girls, but it's Silvia, the white trash middle age woman who would do anything for Charlie's love...even KILL!
