A Socially Relevant and Satirical Horror Masterpiece
Characters in this movie ask who wouldn't want to just toss everything aside and start life anew as a younger, more physically fit version of their old selves. As appetizing a sales pitch as it sounds, it carries a whale of a price. You have to fake your own death, with the help of an organization known as "The Company", who takes charge of all your assets and gives you a new name, face, and body, and creates a back story for the person you are now becoming. A major drawback is that agents of this organization follow you and keep tabs of your every move every step of the way, every minute of the day. One slip up and you're brought back to be turned into a cadaver to be used for the next guy who's dragged into this mire. Did I mention the people in question are lured, drugged and blackmailed into participating in this "new life"? How's it sound so far? You think you can handle this? No? In real life, this would be the most horrifying thing to ever happen in a man's life, but it's a treat and a privilege to watch a film on the subject. This is a film which makes you take a real look at your life and yourself and make you realize that life is pretty okay. This cinematic masterpiece, and I'm not using the term lightly, features John Randolph as Arthur Hamilton, a successful bank executive by day, depressed family man by night. His marriage is that in name only and it is for convenience. One day during hos commute home from work, he's accosted by a stranger handing him a ticket with an address written on it. He receives a phone call strongly urging him to turn up at this location, and he is met with members of "The Company" and his slow descent into madness begins from there. Mr Hamilton becomes Mr Wilson, who is played by Rock Hudson, stepping away from the sweetness and light of the Doris Day bedroom franchise. Hudson and Randolph turn in masterful performances in a film written by Lewis John Carlino, based on a mind blowing novel by David Ely, and directed by the late great John Frankenheimer. The two leading actors are joined by an incredible supporting cast including Salome Jens, Will Geer, well-known character actors Jeff Corey and Murray Hamilton and "Six Million Dollar Man" boss Richard Anderson. Nearly 50 years after its initial release, the film holds up not only as a horror film, not only as a brilliant piece of satire, but it remains socially relevant today as our society becomes more and more image-conscious and youth-obsessed, with middle aged and elderly people not only catering to young people but also struggling with having to step aside and make room for "the youth of today". What will the average guy do to stay "with it"? "Fairy tales can come true...it can happen to you if you're young at heart" with someone else's face and body and voice and house and girlfriend and career and.......Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A classic
One of the best John Frankenheimer films. Rock Hudson's performance is straight on in this film, garnering his only academy award nomination as best actor (he didn't win). This Criterion collection version is the best I've seen. The picture quality is flawless. The "sort of" remake - Self/Less - doesn't hold a match to this film. "Seconds" is a serious must have for any film collector.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
