Review

  • Sooo many holes and issues here... The script needed serious tightening. As a computer science major, I see that the "computer screen" is displaying only something that someone must have programmed it to do. Anne Francis is "Lorrie", the trophy wife of a politician. She tries to off herself, and falls for the guy (Jim) who saves her at the last minute (Jeff Hunter). Sadly, Hunter himself would pass away only a couple years after making this... complications of a stroke, a fall, and a surgery. They plot to knock off the rich politician, but of course, things get complicated from there. It's all a set up... who's the good guy, and who is getting framed?? will all this put Jim over the edge? Directed by William Conrad, who had starred in his own series, "Cannon". Brainstorm was the last film that Conrad directed... looks like he only directed about four or five actual films; the rest were TV episodes. meh. S'okay. lots of "high technology" in the background, mag tapes spinning, paper printing out. all pretty impressive for 1965.
