The Dark Past, Lee J. Cobb’s psychiatrist draws a crude diagram of the brain with a line dividing the conscious and unconscious, and these films visit the choppy depths under the surface calm of suburban Cold War America, its terrors in the night.

Legends of the Fountain of Youth, a spring whose waters will restore youth to anyone who drinks them, stretch back into classical antiquity. Accounts can be found in the ancient Greek writer Herodotus and the historians of Alexander the Great. In the New World, the indigenous Arawak people of Hispaniola had a legend of a land of wealth, Beimeni/Beniny, located somewhere to their northwest. Other legends told of Bonica (perhaps in the gulf of Honduras) which was likewise associated with a Fountain of Youth. These legends soon led to expeditions in the 16th century to find the fabled fountain and their adventures, in turn, have inspired filmmakers to portray them.
