Brainstorm - 1965 - 6/10

Scientist Grayam rescues an unconscious female in front of an approaching train.
Turns out, she is the trophy wife of his boss, head of Cord Industries.
Like fools, she and Grayam swiftly start an affair that crisps their common sense.
And the owner, instead of firing him, decides to ruin his reputation and drive him insane.
Two can play at that game, however.
Very late Noir, overlaid with psychological thriller cloth.
Inspired camerawork hampered by over-acting (Jeff Hunter) or poor acting (Anne Francis).
Conspiracy types should have a field day viewing this.
