Kraft Suspense Theatre: My Enemy, This Town (1964)
Barbara Nichols
Barbara Nichols is the woman near the end of the episode that attempts to set Johnny (Scott Marlowe) up for rape again.
Diane McBain is the woman who lied and sent Johnny to prison for seven years before he returned to his hometown of Santa Marta.
Marlowe is a good actor. McBain just average, in my opinion. Nichols was stereotyped as a ditsy, blonde years before this show.

The Wild Ride (1960)
Well, it is short.
At almost 60 minutes, you won't suffer long through this dog.
Picked up this jewel for $1.
The "hipster" talk comes rapid fire -- "man", "far out", "dig", etc.
Are you digging this so far?
Seeing Jack Nicholson 45 years ago was not as interesting as I thought it would be.
I checked most of the rest of the cast, and only a couple were in anything but "B" pictures of the early 60s.
And the director is "so far out" he can't be found after something called "Sextet" in 1964.
##### Spoiler #####
"Highlight" of the movie -- outside a diner, one of the teens mentions Marlon Brando's "The Wild Ones" to Nicholson.
Almost enough to make you forget "The Wild Ride" -- certainly not the worst movie of all time. But it must rank somewhere in the top 100.

Seconds (1966)
Chilling
A chilling reminder that life is not always greener on the other side of the fence. Is it just coincidence that the first person Rock meets when he decides to start a new life is named Ruby? The cinematography is the best part of the picture.
