I didn’t even know they had Scientologists back in 1950, but this has to be one of the Cruiser’s favourite movies, a plea for tolerance, love and understanding and a big poke in the eye for the psychiatric community. Because Elwood P. Dowd doesn’t need treatment, he just needs friendship. He’s not crazy, he’s just childlike. And luckily, he’s a wealthy, avuncular type with absolutely no violent tendencies. It’s this sort of fuzzy thinking that leads to anarchy in our streets.
