John Frankenheimer directs Rock Hudson as a “second”: that is, the newly plastic-surgery altered “reboot” of, in this instance, a listless banker named Arthur Hamilton. Such procedures are carried out by a secret organization known only as “The Company,” with the promise of giving an individual a chance at making a fresh start at life… but at what cost? (Eureka Entertainment)

A very dark film about how even when life doesn't entertain a person, even when they want more and want to fulfill their dreams, it may not necessarily be what they achieve because sometimes there are obstacles along the way that they don't understand and don't see. This is not so much about obstacles as it is about darkness, which runs through human society and is represented by individuals and groups. The black and white imagery helps a lot.
