Jack Garfein directed this film, adapted for the screen by Calder Willingham from his play END AS A MAN.

“A young cadet in military school (Ben Gazzara) takes brutal pleasure in mentally and physically assaulting his comrades; strange going-on with broom handles, enema bags, and gag reflexes pepper a narrative that continually conflates homoerotic innuendo with sadistic violence.” (Benshoff and Griffin, Queer Images, p. 90)
