Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere are several connections with the cast and crew: Dana Andrews and Jeffrey Hunter appeared in The Frogman together, in 1951... Hunter played Andrews' character in Lure Of The Wilderness, which was a remake of Swamp Water... Dana Andrews and Anne Francis had worked together twice: In The Crowded Sky (as pilot and flight attendant) and The Satan Bug (as father and daughter)... Jeffrey Hunter was directed by William Conrad in The Man From Galveston... And Viveca Lindfors played Pilate's wife in King of Kings, where Hunter played Jesus Christ.
- GoofsWhen Dr. Larstadt is looking at the x-rays of what is supposedly Grayam's skull, the films are clearly not all of the same person. Note the different dental work in the last two images, for example.

Featured review
Intriguing and surprising flick with decent performances , atmospheric cinematography and exciting score
Scientist Jim Grayam (Jeffrey Hunter) from Benson Industrias Research saves his chief's spouse (Anne Francis) from suicide but falls in love with her and schemes to kill her husband (Dana Andrews) by pretending to be criminally crazy. As he contacts a psychologist (Viveca Lindfords) from a State Mental Hospital to consider him insane .And then fakes insanity to escape the killing charge. The Most Fiendish Idea Ever Conceived By The Human Brain! .May Scare You Out of Your Mind!
A nice thriller with several surprises ,twists and turns. A simple and plain premise becomes more and more confuse and twisted when starring plots to kill a husband and becomes romantically involved with the wife . Being well-paced by actor/producer/filmmaker William Conrad in the decade he produced and directed several films for Warner Brothers . Fine interpretation from duo protagonists , the attractive Jeffrey Hunter who had an uneven career and died early and co-starring is the always gorgeous Anne Francis , along with the ordinarily effective Dana Andrews as the revenger hubby. And a lot of notorious secondaries , such as : Strother Martin ,Stacy Harris , Kathie Browne , Michael Pate , and look for Richard Kiel , Steve Ihnat , John Mitchum , and William Conrad himself as a mental patient.
This Brainstorm 1965 packs an adequate cinematography in black and whilte by Sam Leavitt who along with John Alton , Nicolas Musuruka and John Seitz were the best cameramen of the Noir Cinema . As well as atmospheric and thrilling musical score by George Duning . The motion picture was competently produced/directed by William Conrad . At the beginning his prosperous career he worked successfully in the Radio . Since his corpulence effectively precluded playing strapping roles like Matt Dillon in broadcasting , subsequently playing character parts in Big screen as Body and Soul , Sorry, Wrong Number, The Racket , Naked Jungle , among others . Bill began to concentrate on directing and producing by the early 1960's. This, ironically, included episodes of "Gunsmoke". In 1963 he contributed to saving 77 Sunset Strip (1958) for yet another season.. In 1971 he returned to acting and became the unlikely star of the Quinn Martin production Cannon (1971), for which he is chiefly remembered. Bill imbued the tough-talking, no-nonsense character of Frank Cannon with enough humanity and wit to make the series compelling but, despite the show's popularity, he made his views clear in a 1976 Times interview that he found himself poorly served by the scripts he had been given. A planned sequel, The Return of Frank Cannon (1980) failed to get beyond the movie-length pilot, but the actor's popularity resulted in another starring role in Jake and the Fatman (1987) as District Attorney McCabe, co-starring with Joe Penny and a brief run as eccentric Nero Wolfe (1981). A self-effacing man with a good sense of humor and never afraid to speak his mind, Bill Conrad died of heart failure in February 1994. He was elected to the Broadcasting and Cable Hall of Fame and (posthumously) to the Radio Hall of Fame in 1997.
