if any filmmaker could scare you out of a second chance at happiness it is john frankenheiner. this is a truly frightening descent into the skin of handsome rock hudson who regretfully signed up for something he cannot get out of. i think somewhere around the time of frankenheimer's films 'seconds' and 'the manchurian candidate' his scotch got a dose of lsd. this is a very trippy film. by todays film standards it might seem tame but i don't live by todays standards.
