IN MEMORY OF ROY SCHEIDER (who has nothing to do with this movie)
Seconds, 1966
dir. John Frankenheimer
B&W 107 min.
Academy Award nominee and closet homosexual Rock Hudson delivers a power-house performance in this critically acclaimed suspense-thriller.
Desperate to escape his dreary, dead-end life, aging banker Arthur Hamilton succumbs to a mysterious organization's offer of a new identity complete with a new body and a dead past-A fresh start. Hamilton begins his new life as handsome Tony Wilson (Rock Hudson), jet-setting in shear hedonism among a shadowy community of other "reborns". But exhilaration turns into breath-taking terror as Tony realizes that his newly purchased life carries a terrifying price.
Er...see what that price is at 1503 Michigan St. 77006 while eating pizza and drinking cold ones.

Let me know if I should change the movie to Jaws in memory of Roy Scheider. It is something I am truly grappling with. Thank you-Ben

Another film by cinematographer James Wong Howe.
Did you know it, Ben?
With all due respect to James Wong Howe, I vote for Jaws.
