Review of Seconds (1966) by Gregory W — 14 Apr 2010
1960's John Frankenheimer (BIRDMAN OF ALCATRAZ, MANCHURIAN CANDIATE, RONIN) film, where Arthur Hamilton/ John Randolph gets middle-aged angst and turns into Mr Wilson/Rock Hudson. Not as good a decision as you'd think.
According to Brian Wilson's autobigraphy, he thought SECONDS was made deliberatly by Phil Spector to mess with his mind,("Come in, Mr Wilson") causing him to abandon his masterwork, Smile for thirty five years and not visit the cinema again for fifteen.
The power of film.. you have been warned.
