Filmmaker Defends Disputed Documentary as True Picture of Metro Hospital Ward
(Los Angeles Times, December 11, 1975)
“Public release of the production…has prompted 10 Metropolitan staff members to ask state health officials to seek legal action to remove the film from circulation.”

“Although, the original plea from the employees for state intervention has been rejected by Jerome Lackner, Director of the State Department of Health, a renewed request is being made through the California State Employees Association (CSEA)….”

“Reviewers have classified the movie as a hard hitting indictment of ward conditions, and one reviewer suggests that on the basis of the film, an investigation should be launched into conditions at the Metropolitan facility and elsewhere in the state.”
