Superb creepy 60s paranoia movie about an older man who is bored despite his money and wife (Alice Horton from Days of Our Lives) so he gets himself transformed by a mysterious organisation into younger Rock Hudson. Despite living in Malibu and having an affair with a groovy chick, it’s not satisfying. The ultimate point of this – that we shouldn’t do what others tell us to do – is maybe a bit trite, but this is generally terrific, with funky way-out camera work, Hudson giving one of his best performances, Richard Anderson without his toupee, full frontal female nudity (hopping in a vat of grapes – this wasn’t cut?), a terrifying ending with Hudson screaming and fighting as he’s carried to his death (though he really shouldn’t have been so cocky and arrogant with the organisation who were clearly bad asses who knew what they were doing).
