Who? (1974)
7/10
A film I had never heard of or seen stills from is certainly worth a look

This is pretty strange. An eminent US scientist has been seized by the Russians and after an element of brainwashing seek to return him to act on their behalf. Unfortunately, perhaps, for them he has had a serious accident out there and has been given considerable surgical reconstruction. The upshot is that the guy looks like a tin man and it is hard to know if her really is who everyone thinks he is. It is a slight story with insufficient set-up for us to care one way or the other but as questions arise as to whether he even wants to be who he might be things get interesting and certainly no less weird as he strolls about trying to find himself. A film I had never heard of or seen stills from is certainly worth a look. For me, Trevor Howard just about holds it together but Elliott Gould is brilliant and makes it all much better than it might have been.
