Audience Member Victim of brain damage experiences a miraculous recovery due to Dr Clavious' experimental treatment which relies on a brain donor. Complications, of course, emerge when the donor's past crosses into the recipient's life. Interesting concept with so-so results. Ending leaves doubts that Doctors have learned anything from the mistakes of Mrs Bedford's experience; but yet no sequel materialized. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member A woman suffers brain damage when hit by a car. An experimental procedure allows her to recover with brain waves donated by a recently murdered woman but she inherits the deceased woman's memories of her murder. More Corinne Alphen would have been welcome but when is that not the case. Dad seems less irritated by Danny's Rubik's Cube playing than Space Invaders.
