REVIEWS FROM OUR PREVIOUS ISSUE, SHOCK CINEMA #65 

George Segal, Shirley Knight and Robert Culp in
a made-for-TV production of Ingmar Bergman's
The Lie.

Stewart Petersen and Dana Kimmell in a sappy
teen-drama from director Lyman Dayton, Rivals.

Cliff Potts and Xochitl star in the gritty, subversive period-western/romance Cry For Me Billy.

Dolores Faith, Dean Fredericks and Kathleen Freeman in a sordid tale of exploited migrant workers, Wild Harvest.

A naive first-time offender gets a taste of prison brutality in the low-budget Canadian feature Caged Men.
