Darren Williams and Bill Ackerman join Mike to look at Noel Black’s Pretty Poison. Released in 1968, the film stars Anthony Perkins as Dennis Pitt, a troubled young man with an overly-active imagination. He works at a chemical company that’s spilling waste into a nearby river. He meets a local teenager, Sue Ann Stepanek, played by Tuesday Weld, and recruits her into his imaginary network of spies only to find that she’s far more dangerous than he could ever pretend to be.
