It is one of the movies you remember for years. I saw it when I was..... anyway it was some 30 or 35 years ago....
At that time I enjoyed the plot and general idea of power of human brain.
Today I also notice other levels - performances, actors, editing.
Richard Burton is a classic. Always great.
Lino Ventura perfect.
Very good performance of Lee Ventura assistant. This guy played that nasty Nazi officer in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. I love noticing such details. It somehow shows the career paths.
The plot is simple - man is presumed killed to death yet he somehow regains life and his brain is working. And he affect the world. The policeman slowly runs his investigation until he understands the reality.
One of the most horrific scenes is when Burton tells his doctor about the things he can do he steps out to the balcony, looks and the airplane and makes it crash........ just to prove....
Movie focuses on plot and character play. It was 1978 so do not expect CGI yet this movie proves good story does not need too many effects...
