Experiment in Terror (1962) is producer/director Blake Edward's chilling excursion into atmospheric neo-noir, focusing on a San Francisco working girl (Lee Remick) stalked by a wheezing psychopath (Ross Martin) intent on forcing her to rob the bank where she works... or else. Fearing for the safety of her younger sister (Stefanie Powers) even more than for her own, our heroine pluckily makes secret contact with an FBI agent (Glenn Ford), hoping to foil the psycho before he can carry out his sinister threats. Featuring luch black-and-white cinematography by Philip Lathrop and a smoky, jazz-inflected score from Henry Mancini, available here as an isolated track.
