In the late 1950s and early 1960s, British films were densely populated with angry young men. In MORGAN! the young man is not only angry, he's crazier than a bedbug in Bedlam. By altering the nature of the role from the original TV play, the creators of this film seem to be saying that
anything is possible if the leading character is deranged. With that premise, all normalcy is tossed out the window and we are asked to accept the lead as he is, crazy or not. By today's standards, this picture is somewhat dated. The technique often overwhelms the story, with innumerable
slow-motion shots, freeze frames, and surrealistic scenes.
