And not only drama, but also action flick. Yes it is very short, one hour and three minutes, and character study very effective for such a short length time. I spent a good time. Roger Corman will do it again in the war film genre, several years later, with SECRET INVASION, with a bigger budget - because Corman did not make only small budgets features - so this one could be seen as a kind of first draw for SECRET INVASION; though the plot is not the same. The woman character is surprisingly good, with an unexpected sequence with her. I guess this film should be more shown to audiences. Corman fans or not...
