"Seconds", 1966, John Frankenheimer, TSPDT: 995
This film is one of those little science fiction gems that probably escaped everyone´s attention. I am afraid to tell you about the plot, because I don´t want to ruin its surprises. But the mood of the piece is as important as what happens there, so a little bit to entice you: a man wants to change his stale life so he gets an appointment at a company that gives guys like him a "second chance" by changing his identity. That´s all. Rock Hudson is very good in this, as is the rest of the cast. Think about it as a very good episode of "Twilight Zone" that got the movie treatment. I could go on and on with interpretations about the plot, but this is not the reason why I am writing these snippets right now (maybe I will for future films). Watch it all.
