Sandor Stern's direction is superb and the cast is also outstanding. The development of the psychodrama here is artful even after the nature of the problem is divulged. That's rare. Leon's deepening obsession is fascinating.

Actually, father is a psychotic ventrilloquist. Although he's managed to control his psychosis by living his life in rigidly controlled way, he's taken it on himself to make his chidren psychotic. Leon isn't supposed to talk to Pin when father isn't around. Leon has been dubbed a spaz by the neighborhood kids. Meanwhile, Ursula declares that she thinks she will enjoy sex. Later, Leon ferociously attacks Ursula's latest conquest kicking over and over at the victim's genitals. Leon did not look sane. Ursula promises Leon that she will not have sex again. Ursula nonetheless turns up pregnant. They go to Pin while father isn't there. Pin speaks. Leon has learned ventrilloquism. Father catches Leon talking with Pin. Father takes him away, and a crash ensues. Father and mother are killed, but Pin survives the crash. They are put in the care of Aunt Dorothy. Leon thinks that it won't take long for Aunt Dorothy to feel the vibrations that she isn't wanted. Ursula is off to the library reading books on schizophrenia. Aunt Dorothy has decided to put the platoc covers back on the expensive furniture. Pin decides she has got to go. And then it's just the three of them. Ursula has met Stan. She hasn't dated since the abortion. Things seem to be going fine.  Leon takes Marcia, a local lass willing to overlook Leon's oddness for the love of money, home because he's feeling jealous abot Ursula. Leon has motorized Pin. Ursula comes home in the nick of time. Leon decides his vocation is poetry.  Leon's poetic hero is Attestes, who has impregnated 173 women. Attestes is contemplating the rape of his sister. Leon reads the latest stanzas to Stan and Ursula. Leon feels the reading went well. Stan makes the observation that Leon's poetry is sick. Leon overhears this ill timed declaration, and soon Leon invites Stan over while Ursula isn't there. Pin directs Leon on how to clean up the mess. Pin seems to be getting more and more detailed. Seems? He's looking more and more like Leon. The toy has become the boy. It's an inverse Dorian Grey as Leon is deteriorating. Ursula finds Stan's watch, and knows her worst fears are realized.</B></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
