The Strangers In 7A are a group who plan to use this apartment as a headquarters
while they plan a night time bank robbery. Susanne Benton rents the apartment
and her male callers include Michael Brandon, James A. Watson, Jr., and Tim
McIntire. All of them are Vietnam veterans and one of them, Watson is trained
in demolition.
When building superintendent Andy Griffith gets curious he and wife Ida Lupino get taken hostage. A lot of the film is taken up with their time as hostages. All of the robbers are social misfits, but Michael Brandon is truly psychotic.
It's for you to watch this made for TV film to see how it all turns out. But let's say things don't quite go as planned. Brandon stands out in this film, a truly warped and hateful human being.
Sadly the war in Vietnam being as unpopular as it became led to a lot of films of varying qualities casting Vietnam vets in all kind of psychotic roles. Terribly unfair I thought, then as now.
Still The Strangers In 7A is still a tense action packed thriller that will leave you on the edge of your living room sofa seeing it on Amazon as I did.
