Seconds	comment	Seconds is a 1966 Science Fiction film directed by John Frankenheimer, starring Rock Hudson, John Randolph, Will Geer, Jeff Corey, Murray Hamilton and Salome Jens.Arthur Hamilton is a middle-aged banker who is restless with his job and his marriage. One day, he is contacted by an old friend (whom he thought was dead), who urges Hamilton to contact an organization simply known as The Company. Mr. Ruby, the representative he meets, presents Hamilton an offer; they will fake his death, and in return, give him a complete surgical makeover - removing his fingerprints, changing his face, teeth and voice, making him look younger - and offer him a chance to make a fresh start with his life. Eventually, Hamilton agrees to it, and he becomes Tony Wilson, a painter. However, he soon discovers it's not all that it's cracked up to be.It was a Box Office Bomb on initial release, but has since become a cult hit. No relation to the comic book of the same name.
