i enjoyed this film when it was first released on video - it never seemed to have played the theaters in my college town.

i loved it!

i've often thought about it from time to time, and wondered why i never see it on TV.

it seems like a good film for the sci-fi channel or bravo (dear god, how many times can they run 'braveheart'???)

i recall it being inventive, well-acted, well-directed.

a pity it's not better known. heck, i don't even think it can be found at blockbusters now.

I like the film for its New York mid-60s esthetic, but I agree with others who liken the film to a religious allegory.

The use of the name "Grace" and the frequent mentions of God....allegorical. But instead of reminding me of other amnesia films, instead it somewhat reminds me of The Swimmer with its conversations that begin as if we already know all the characters involved and the circumstances therein.

Jean Simmons and Suzanne Pleshette give performances that are called for in this type of production (what fun to see Correges white fashion boots on Pleshette, just like the ones I wore in high school in 1966!). And I do love James Garner, but as someone else has stated, Anthony Perkins would have owned this film.

One of Garner's best films ever was another B&W called "The Americanization of Emily."
