The setting is a housing project apartment in New York City near the Brooklyn Bridge. Johnny Pope (Don Murray) is a soldier who returns from the Korean War, where a stay in a military hospital has left him secretly addicted to morphine. His emotional distance (and his tendency to stay out all night) alienates him from the apartment's other residents: Johnny's pregnant wife Celia (Eva Marie Saint) and his brother Polo (Anthony Franciosa). Celia is convinced that Johnny is having an affair, but of course the truth is something quite different. Johnny and Polo's father, John Sr. (Lloyd Nolan), arrives in town and stays with them in the small apartment, further complicating a tense situation and leading to a dynamic and dramatic climax.

"Philip (Mark Lester) is a troubled autistic 10-year-old boy who has been fleeing the confines of his family's home since babyhood. Like some wild animal, Philip refuses to be penned up. Even more frustrating for his devoted mother and more irritable father, Philip has refused to speak since the age of three. Run Wild, Run Free (1969), directed by Richard C. Sarafian, is occasionally graced with experimental, art film touches, as when, at one point the internal thoughts of Philip's mother (Sylvia Syms) describing her fatigue and inability to love her son can be heard as voice-over as they drive to a therapist appointment.

Anna, une adolescente de dix-sept ans, fille d'un riche ingénieur suisse, est affectée de troubles mentaux particulièrement graves : autisme, hallucination, régression infantile. Après de nombreuses thérapies, toutes plus inefficaces les unes que les autres, Anna est confiée à M Blanche, une psychothérapeute qui refuse le titre de médecin et ambitionne de la soigner sans recourir aux traitements traditionnels. Grâce aux dessins d'Anna, M Blanche parvient à comprendre ce dont souffre sa jeune patiente car la fonction symbolique est extrêmement développée chez des sujets atteints de schizophrénie. En réalité, Anna a été privée d'amour maternel et vit murée dans un dédale de censures intérieures qui l'empêchent de participer normalement à la vie extérieure. Adoptant une méthode faite de patience et d'amour, surmontant les crises et les difficultés, dont la phase la plus aiguë est la tentative de suicide par immersion d'Anna dans le lac de Lucerne, M Blanche parvient à insuffler à l'adolescente de progressives facultés d'autonomie.
