Seconds (1966) - The best film you've probably never seen

Seconds tells the story of a middle-aged New York banker who, disillusioned with his life, contacts an agency known as "The Company" which specializes in providing "rebirths" under new identities and appearances altered by plastic surgery.

Thank you for watching!

Excellent review. Seconds is one of my favorite films. I find it difficult to watch, but the cinematography, plot, and acting captivate me.

I love this film and also consider it one of the best “under the radar” films of all time. I’m glad it gets more attention in hindsight from Criterion, America’s National Film Registry and the 1001 Movies You Must See book series, which is how I discovered it. The cinematography is inventive and truly groundbreaking for its time, it also influenced the look for a movie I was producing at the time I watched it, and the ending is perfectly bleak and hard hitting. Your review is great as well.

It's fantastic. Will Geer playing evil is sublime. Amazing cinematography. Dark. Dark. Dark.

Rock Hudson's performance is one of the best I have ever seen

Rock Hudson’s best acting work in this movie!

Before Rock Hudson sadly left us, and became fodder for the press, I would often ask others: “Have you seen “Seconds”?!! Along with “Night of the Living Dead”, and “The Pawnbroker”, it had a profound effect on my psyche as a young teenager, having stumbled upon it on late, late night TV. For me it shares a common thread with the other films, and once experienced, it holds you prisoner for life.

Great Review :) This movie seems super interesting!

Great Movie! I love it was done and Rock Hudson does an excellent job!

This gem from Frankenheimer went under the radar for decades. Probably because it wasn't available in VHS video. Discovered by many when it was transferred to DVD some years ago.
I saw it on TV, about 2 am, over 30 years ago. I remember recording it and giving the tape a psychologist lady that I went out with.
Btw, personally, Rock Hudson best performance. Without a doubt.

Great film from the underrated John Frankenheimer and the incredible cinematographer James Wong Howe.

[DynamiteThunda]

A template for time share business . Watched this a few times over the years.

The assault is the blackmail to ensure he goes on with it and so vital to the film. Also, it contrasts with an earlier scene with his wife which shows a lack of sex. The whole film has uncomfortable elements!

this is so good!! it deserves so much more attention, I'd love to watch this movie now :D, does anyone know where I can watch it??

John Frankenheimer isn’t underrated but man is it insane to never see his name mentioned nowadays among the best filmmakers, sure he made mostly thrillers and action but he was insanely great at it, the range of different stories and visual styles. He didn’t just make Manchurian Candidate, but The Train, Seven Days of May, Seconds, Black Sunday, Birdman of Alcatraz, Grand Prix, Ronin and French Connection II. Absolute legend

Oh I've seen this just recently by the way. Please watch it and. . . Would you DO IT?. I'm at a place in my life now where I, not only could, I WOULD do it. 💁‍♂
