by Lawrence Kamarck ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 28, 1969
In a small northern community, Charlie Skragg, the Negro chief of police, confronts the darker side of his own racial feelings as well as other submerged factors in an earlier drowning and in the body now hung on a bell rope ""bloated and blue"" in a room called a chapel at the top of an old house. The latter is his friend, a psychiatrist, with the foreknowledge of death from another source and an admitted intent to kill..... Even those who are not altogether convinced will still find this unusual and unnerving.
