ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

_______

Thoughtful psychological drama about a man (Terence Stamp) who, after being in a coma since birth, is awakened as a 30-year-old "child" by an operation.

Robert Vaughn is the kindly surgeon who stimulates the faulty sleep-center of the comatose Stamp. Nigel Davenport is the cold, self-serving doctor in charge of a project designed to give Stamp a whirl-wind education. He exploits Stamp by arranging with the news media to have Stamp's education conducted in a studio-like facility at the hospital so that Stamp's progress can be recorded and viewed by the public.

Hostility develops between Davenport and the child-like Stamp during the inflexible educational routine which Stamp is forced to endure. But Robert Vaughn wins Stamp's trust by demonstrating genuine concern.

Eventually Stamp escapes from the hospital and experiences his first terrifying taste of the real world, but the media continues to hound him, with tragic results. Well directed by Allan Cooke.
