Psycho A Go Go (Al Adamson, 1965)

The movie was in color. This is a picture off the internet.

A low budget crime film. A vicious criminal goes after the little girl who picked up a diamond necklace he dropped and hid it in her doll.

There were two things that stood out to me. During the opening credits, the criminals ride in one of those elevators that are on the outside of the building. Through the window they keep showing the Jerry Lewis Restaurant across the street.

The other is the scene where the father brings a present home for his daughter's birthday. The family is white and the doll he brings her is black. The movie was made in the '60's and I thought this might have been a half-hearted show of support for racial equality. But then he tells her it's a "Christy Minstrel Doll". He winds it up and it sings minstrel show songs. First it sings "Old Folks At Home" (Swanee River).

Still, the movie wasn't that bad.
