This is a somewhat disappointing adaptation of the astonishing book, “Flowers for Algernon”, by Daniel Keyes. This is not to say that Cliff Robertson’s performance in the title role of Charly Gordon, a gentle, mentally challenged person, is not Oscar marvelous. It is, and he deservedly won the Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of Charly Gordon. Claire Bloom is also powerful for her performance as Charly’s teacher and esteem interest, Alice Kinian. The spot with this film lies in the screenplay and direction of the film.
The storyline is simple enough. Charly Gordon, a gentle, mentally challenged soul with a thirst for knowledge, attends night school in an distress to glean bright. His teacher is Alice Kinian, a sensitive and caring person, who recognizes Charly’s determination, as well as his limitations. She takes an interest in him and refers him to an institute that has been doing research in increasing the intelligence of laboratory mice through neurosurgery and is now on the cusp of attempting that experimental neorosurgery on humans. The institute is in the process of selecting candidates for its clinical trials.
Charly goes to the institute where he undergoes a battery of tests and has his capability for jam solving compared to that of a laboratory mouse named Algernon, whose intelligence has been surgically enhanced. After mighty deliberation, the institute decides to recall Charly on as a human guinea pig, after Ms. Kinian eloquently persuades them that Charly’s determination and sweet disposition should overcome the fact that he is below the threshold level of intelligence that they were looking for in a human subject.

Charly undergoes the neurosurgery which initially appears to be a success. He gets colorful, very colorful. The inevitable romance with Ms. Kinian follows, as Charly exceeds all expectations. It is here that the film begins to drop apart and takes a swan dive. In an worry to present the changes in Charly’s life, the film shows a collage of stills and scenes of Charly and Ms. Kinian that are ludicrous and almost embarrassing. They are presented in a fashion that is best described as psychedelic. It is done so poorly, as to create the film lose credibility, and it is downhill from there on, as the account becomes one dimensional. The screenplay writer and director should have stuck to the book, both in anecdote and in theme, remembering that you can’t fix what ain’t broke.
Still, Cliff Robertson’s performance, as well as that of Claire Bloom, is worth watching. If you have already read the book, however, prepare to be disappointed. If you have not read the book, as yet, observe the movie first, and then read the book.
Cliff Robertson won the Academy Award for best actor with his superior portrayal of Charly Gordon. It takes an actor with large versatility to first play a mentally-challenged man and then turn around and describe a surgically-transformed genius; Robertson fills the bill with titanic satisfaction. To fully enjoy the quality of this film, a sizable suggestion would be to first read the short record titled “Flowers for Algernon” on which this movie is based.
