Plot

A young woman falls in love with a man who may be insane. The young man, Ben Gunther, believes he and the young woman, Julie Merriday, are the reincarnations of lovers from an earlier time. Ben convinces Julie of his beliefs and encourages her to run off with him.[2]

The movie was a considerable change of pace for Donahue. It was shot on the Monterey Peninsula in late 1964.[3][4]

Critical
