What happens

I Need (or I Need a Man) is a 1967 American drama film concerned with a young girl who becomes a schizophrenic nymphomaniac after a childhood rape. It was the first movie from Beverly Sebastian and Ferd Sebastian, who self financed it for $7,000 and filmed it around Houston. The Sebastians distributed the film themselves and managed to recoup their money, launching their careers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
