description: Dangling Man examines the strange fate of Joseph, a smart young Chicagoan who has quit his job to be ready for induction into the army - a call that for months and months never comes. So he dangles between war and peace, marriage and infidelity, the freedom he is unable to cope with - and the regimentation he begins to crave.
