DARRELL HOWE WITH JUDY HOWARD IN 'ANATOMY OF A PSYCHO'

| Judy Howard in ANATOMY OF A PSYCHO Year: 1962 Rating: **** |
When token investigator Michael Granger is kind of affably/subtly questioning local hoodlum Darrell Howe on he and his gang's whereabouts when some people got beat up the night before, Howe's facially-scared Chet lies about going to a movie... specifically CRIME AND PUNISHMENT... an ironic parallel the cop instantly understands...
Yet is only partially what ANATOMY is inspired by... as the law's only around right after bad things happen: like a rich man's house burning because his son hooked up with Chet's loose and lithe GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW ingenue Judy Howard, who, with only a few scenes, smoothly combines passionate seduction with perplexed vulnerability...

The polar opposite of Chet's all-around-good-girl sister Pamela Lincoln, herself dating someone that Chet has a problem with... his former best friend... whose father (b-movie staple Russ Bender) had witnessed their brother committing a murder that led directly to the gas chamber... in a sequence that not only begins the movie but establishes the vengeful rage within our leading anti-hero...
Who's a pretty terrific young actor, keeping busy manipulating both a naive/innocent cohort and a restlessly rebellious one — while sinking his teeth into some really violent sequences, particularly for the early-1960's in what's more befitting a noticeably low-budget exploitation-expose than if ANATOMY OF A PSYCHO was just another mainstream teenage-gang melodramas.
