Description
A very well-done, low-key treatment of the world's first human to
human brain transplant. When her toddler escapes her arms and runs
into traffic, a young but unglamorous housewife suffers a cerebral
hemmorage. The child is saved by the brave actions of a beautiful
model, but in the process the model's lower body is crushed by a
truck. At the hospital, the housewife is pronounced brain dead,
while the model is on the verge of dying, as well, so the model's
undamaged brain is transplanted into the housewife's body. The film
focuses on the long recovery period, the model's adjustment to her
new form, and the struggles that the loved ones of both women must
endure. Well acted, especially by Mare Winningham, and very
realistic in its approach (moreso than the slightly lurid source
novel by Barbara Harris).
