Hauser's Memory

Hauser's Memory is a 1970 science fiction television movie directed by Boris Sagal and that starred Susan Strasberg, David McCallum, Lilli Palmer, Robert Webber and Leslie Nielsen.[1][2][3] The screenplay by Adrian Spies was based on a 1968 novel of the same name by Curt Siodmak,[4] which reworked the central idea of his novel Donovan's Brain (1943).[5]

The dying scientist Hauser knows of missile secrets. In order to preserve this information, the Central Intelligence Agency has scientist Hillel Mondoro (McCallum) inject himself with the cerebrospinal fluid extracted from Hauser. However, Hauser's wife Anna (Palmer) turns out to be pro-Nazi, and the memory of this woman also becomes imprinted on Mondoro's mind. Hauser's memory starts to take control of Mondoro and causes him to try to even some old scores.[1][5]

This film was a nominee for the 1971 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation.[6]

gollark: There's the "wash your hands" campaigns and apparently the government's trying to deal with the economic impact later, but we're doing horribly on testing (better than the US...) and seemingly not actually doing much to stop the spread preemptively.
gollark: I'm worried that the UK appears to not actually be doing much about coronavirus.

gollark: Apparently hospitals could test for coronavirus cheaply with stuff they generally already had available, but the FDA only allowed the CDC's tests to be used. But those had a broken component. Hospitals also had replacements for that broken bit, but the way the tests were licensed didn't allow them to be replaced. So they just limited testing to those returning from China, so they have no idea of spread.
gollark: The whole thing with the FDA/CDC managing to horribly mess up testing.
