The non-stop, harum-scarum farce skewered many institutions, including psychiatry, the sterile field of science, the police, and high-society upper classes.Soon after, the lab technicians, who used Gorman""s formula, brought him a synthetic chunk of green kryptonite.To be characteristically different from other films in the original two trilogies, the film dispensed with the opening crawl, and familiar side-wipe transitions.Rose gazes at him, trying o attract a glance while entering the house.Rose quickly persuades Esther to join her and stand on the front porch to look at the boy.Attempting to be non-chalant, both desperately want to be noticed and admired.Unsuccessful in attracting his attention, he is oblivious o them and imperviously wanders inside.Rose thinks: "He""s not very neighborly, I must say."They also go inside their house, where they anticipate he evening""s events.When Esther reminds Rose of her fateful phone call, stuck-up Rose disdainfully mentions her disinterest in boys before drifting upstairs to wash her hair:My dear, when you get to be my age, you""ll find out here are more important things in life than boys.This lurid, somber, ground-breaking and fascinating melodrama concerned terrible secrets that had to be toned down for the screen (homosexuality, insanity, murder, incest, pedophilia, and cannibalism).
