Plot

Arthur Hamilton, a bored middle-aged banker, is offered a new life by a secret company: a different face and body, a new identity and a fresh start. After the operation he becomes the painter Tony Wilson, living in a Malibu beach house, but he soon finds that the dream has a cost. Rock Hudson plays the new Arthur.

Sinekatalog’s take

A disturbing, ahead-of-its-time sci-fi nightmare shot with fisheye lenses by James Wong Howe. It flopped on release and is now regarded as one of the most original films of the 1960s.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
