DESCRIPTION
Synopsis:
Inspector Brunel(Lino Ventura) is investigating the attempted murder of novelist John Morlar(Richard Burton). Whilst Morlar lies in a coma in hospital, Brunel begins to discover frightening fragments of Morlar's life, with the help of the novelists Psychiatrist, played by Lee Remick. It seems that through the will of his mind alone, Morlar has the ability to cause disaster and destruction around him.
This film is part disaster movie, part horror film and part whodunnit, and excels in every department. It has quite a long running time, but engages the viewer throughout. The performances are uniformingly excellent, from Ventura's cynical, weary policeman to Burton's performance of wild eyed conviction as the mysterious Morlar.
