根据E·L·多科特罗的同名小说改编，片名直译是《拉格泰姆舞曲》，是一种从19世纪末开始流行的黑人音乐，早期爵士乐的雏形。本片并没有直接讲述太多关于爵士乐的故事，更多以1920年代美国纽约这个爵士乐蓬勃发展的时空为背景，分别铺陈四个家庭的不同生活和他们之间的交汇，反映了当时动荡而又生气勃勃的社会情景。
后半段更多引出当年的种族歧视问题，有说法认为福尔曼通过呈现20世纪初黑人对不公处境的抗争来呼应80年代更加风起云涌的黑人民权运动。

罗伯特．怀斯导演的一部具有悬疑性的科幻片，描述美国一枚太空舱堕落墨西哥荒郊小镇上，导致镇民全部离奇死亡，仅剩一老一少受重伤未死。特别营救小组将他们救回实验室研究其病况，最终发现其中奥妙。
本片制作相当认真，气氛和映象亦有部分的杰出表现。但整体来说太过沉缓，描述科学家如何研究细胞分裂的过程也太详细了。

An intense story about a sadistic teenage cadet at a southern military school and the dehumanizing and bullying tactics he uses in hazing other students. A creepy upper-classman named Jocko de Paris, devises a complex scheme to get another student thrown out of the school. He sets up a cheating card game where the attending freshmen are scared stiff.
A football star with a known violent temper is plied with alcohol and then made very angry specifically so he'll beat up another student. Other scenes include shoving a rubber tube down a student's throat and forcing him to guzzle whiskey. The sadistic Jocko visits one student's room and taunts him about his fear of women and arranges a date with a floozy so he'll overcome his phobia.
Because the students are in a military school, the freshmen must address the upper-classmen as "sir" and "obey" orders. This, along with an effective use of black and white photography, adds an especially sinister sadistic vibe to the film. There is also a homoerotic undercurrent. This was Ben Gazzara's first major film role and George Peppard's first film. Most of the actors and technical staff came from the Actors Studio of New York City. Ben Gazzara, Pat Hingle, George Peppard, Peter Mark Richman, Arthur Storch, Paul E. Richards, Larry Gates, Clifton James, Geoffrey Horne, James Olson, Julie Wilson. The Strange One.
