Day of the Nightmare (1965)


A wife finds hidden sketches of a woman which were drawn by her artist husband. Shortly afterwards the policy show up to ask if she's seen a woman who looks just like her husbands sketches. They have reason to believe the woman was murdered. The wife pleads ignorance even though her husband is often away for days at a time due to his job. The wife is stupid.

Doris Mays, a creepy looking man in drag, shows up and tries to kill the wife. Why? No idea. What's going on? No idea. There is a chase through an amusement park which is kind of interesting, if you like to see footage of 1960s amusement parks and I do.

Later I discovered the movie was missing the entire beginning that set up the plot. Ah, so that's why it made no sense, starting with a lady in drag on a plane who intended to kill the artists wife. There's a whole bunch of the movie missing which showed the husband in an apartment with models, nudity, and him being a total freak. If only I'd seen that, it would have at least made the plot understandable.
