The People Next Door is an unflinching portrayal of a New York family torn asunder by drug abuse. Eli Wallach and Julie Harris give compelling performances as parents whose marriage is pushed to the brink when their daughter Maxie (Deborah Winters) experiments with LSD and heroin, before experiencing a mental breakdown. Assuredly directed by David Greene, making his first American feature, and beautifully shot by Gordon Willis. The People Next Door is an unjustly forgotten melodrama. (Powerhouse Films)
