Charly (1968) Part 4/11

From the classic Daniel Keyes novel "Flowers for Algernon" comes this moving and unforgettable adaptation. Featuring an Academy Award winning performance(best actor) by Cliff Robertson and a "shrewd, talented" score (Variety) by Ravi Shankar, this timeless tearjerker is "definitely one to see". When a mentally retarded man named Charly (Robertson) undergoes experimental brain surgery, he is miraculously freed from the prison of his own mind. As his IQ soars to genius proportions, Charly's eyes are opened to a world he's never truly seen. But when the effects of his operation inexplicably begin to fade, Charly must find a way to halt his regression before his own mind destroys his life, his newfound romance(Claire Bloom) and the man he's become.

@djdetonator23 I was thinking the same thing. I guess it's a matter of choosing what looks neat on film over what is plausible.
