When You Comin’ Back, Red Ryder? (1979) VHS

 This unique psychological thriller is a decent adaptation of 

Mark Medoff's brilliant play in which a psychopathic Viet-Nam 

vet holds a diverse group of individuals hostage in an isolated 

New Mexico diner in 1968. He then slowly exposes each of the 

their fears, faults, desires and ulterior motives while challenging 

American ideals, morals and heroism in transition.

This rarely seen film's box office was marred its long title, 

difficult to market subject matter and lack of well-known stars. 

However, each of the half dozen or so actors turn in brilliant 

performances as their fascades are slowly torn down by the vet 

(played by former child evangelist, Marjoe Gortner) whose 

intuition and captivating rants are exceeded only by his 

intimidating demeanor, and mind-blowing innuendo...(markstool IMDB)
