Review :

Maxwell Reed, small-time drug dealer, has many difficulties trying to leave the country

"The Brain Machine" is a crackling good film noir, owing to a well-constructed story and direction by Ken Hughes, dark photography by Josep Ambor, and the excellent work of Maxwell Reed. This perhaps mis-titled movie is not science fiction.

Two research doctors (Patrick Barr and Elizabeth Allan) are separating as the story commences. At her new hospital, Allan looks into the case of Reed, who has been struck by a bus, affecting his memory. Her work on EEGs shows that he is in a parlous state. Reed actually has been involved in the illicit sale of cortisone, manufactured by one Amalgamated Chemical Company. Striking out on his own, he is soon pursued by criminals and police, while taking Allan hostage. Barr follows up on leads too.

"The Brain Machine" is an above-average Brit-noir. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been released to DVD. How nice if it were.
