Review of Charly

Charly (1968)
This movie is just pure schlock
10 August 1999
This movie isn't very good. It features a mentally retarded man, Charly Gordon, who undergoes an operation on his brain to make him a supposed genius. Then we watch a handful or so split screen doggerels before we see that Charly can indeed beat the mouse, Algernon in a maze race. Then the story goes haywire from there - he has an affair with Ms. Kinnean, then he's suddenly a hippie-biker in a flash of uncoordinated scenes. Then, he's a great scientist suddenly! What's going on!? Apparently, either the director likes to play with our minds, or he is really bad at directing. Overall, I didn't care for the movie, and I really did NOT like the atrocious, repetitive music and sound effects.
