Out of the small percentage of the greatest films considered to be way ahead of its time that was not appreciated or valued at the time of its theatrical release. This film is undoubtedly and most assuredly Number One. Some films unfortunately need to age like wine.
I saw this movie in the theater as a child. It blew my mind then as it does now. I cried at the END. You have never seen Rock act like this in any other of his movie's.
I've just watched this movie. Amazing concept, mindblowing cinematography, disquieting music by the great Jerry Goldsmith, Saul Bass title sequence, Grandpa Walton, Wild Bill Hickok from Little Big Man, Mrs Robinson's husband from The Graduate and a shattering, career-best performance by Rock Hudson. A worthy addition to the blu ray collection! :)
Hi! Thank you for sharing this clip :) Is there a full version of this documentary somewhere? I'm interested to learn more about John Frankenheimer's productions and interviews. Many thanks :)
iam about to next a real comment on this real film so what iam about say about this film and this is going about 4 0r 5 pages just look forward what i am say about this film okay
Love Rock but the movie “Seconds” was nothing special in my opinion … in fact it played kind of like a bad Twilight Zone or One Step beyond episode. It was long and boring too. Rock’s acting is top notch in this picture but the problem is he was miscast for this role. I don’t really think people wanted to see Rock like that, acting like that playing that type of character, that’s why the movie bombed. Also by 1965 or so Rock was no longer the #1 Box Office Draw he once was between 1958-62. So his star had started to fade you might say even before he was chosen for this role. He was rumored to be really upset it wasn’t received well by critics or audiences. Thinking they would love him in such a new and risky role. Mostly no one liked the movie except Rock and maybe the people involved making it. (At the time)
Incredible movie and Hudson was amazing in it.
I agree with you !
Rock Hudson showed what a really great actor he was. He just excelled in this role.
The movie was at least 10 years ahead of its time - and Contains Rocks finest screen performance

Absolutely his best movie.
Casting Rock as a "misaligned product" is absolutely perfect. Like Angela Lansbury was as Raymond's mother in Manchurian Candidate.

Rock Hudson was So Handsome And such an Amazing actor😊❤️
Thanks for sharing this☺️
Watch this movie if you haven't already. One of my favorite of all time.
A great film, I saw it here on TH-cam some years ago
Great to hear Hudson's comments on this disturbing movie. He is correct in saying that it is a horror film.
Rock sure was handsome 6’4 200 lbs here
rock rocks
The ultimate gay from Hollywood!
Seconds is one of those flicks you watch once and forever will be printed in your subconscious mind!
Amazing movie!!
Filmed August 1965, NYC and Scarsdale. Why is this clip in color, but the actual film B&W?

bullshit stacy.
Stacy, I agree with you. I can see Paul Newman, Burt Lancaster in this role.
most superficial, tasteless review i've ever read. blah blah blah, natter natter natter. rank populism.
Burt Lancaster did
'The Swimmer' though
An equally creepy movie
@@kennethrussell1158 The movie is not for the masses, it was for people with some degree of intellect.
