Wissenswertes
The "Newton's Diamond" that Graham is obsessed with is a fictional device. Antimony sulfide forms a crystal called stibnite which is gray and opaque, not clear and colorless like most gem-quality diamonds. "Diamond" was the name of Isaac Newton's dog.

Patzer
When Dr. Zeigler visits the institution for mentally unstable criminals in which Graham is hospitalized, the director of the institution says, referred to another patient: "Vulpes pilum mutat, non mores", saying it means "The leopard never changes his spots". Graham corrects him, saying it means instead: "The wolf changes its fur, but not its nature". Actually, "vulpes" means "fox".

Zitate
Graham Young: I want to be the greatest poisoner the world has ever seen.

psychotic teen hands out lethal Mickey Finns'

Troubled teen is sent to a nuthouse for rehabilitation of his addiction to concocting toxic substances. I got a couple of laughs from this film, but it wasn't exactly a comedy - if it was, then clearly it was the blackest comedy I've ever seen. Be ready to see lots of vomit and a really vomitous lounge singer named Dickie Boone. Very good picture about an extremely deluded boy.
