    On the one hand, it is not a blessing for the mentally retarded to become a smart person even for a short time. On the other hand, as a scientist, perhaps at the beginning of the experiment, he should be told that the results of the operation will not be permanent. Even a flash of lightning at midnight at least once illuminated the entire sky. . . Actor Cliff Robertson's interpretation of Charlie won him a figurehead. PS Silent Questions Cangtian and this film are a bit different in the same...

    true love is let it go

    True love is letting go. After watching this film, I became stupid too, I was not high originally.
    Charlie, from a mentally retarded, to a genius, and finally turned into a story about mentally retarded. Before he was about to become mentally retarded again, his lingering shadow of the past loomed...

    [Film Review] Charly (1968) 6.3/10

    "If the plural of mouse is mice, the plural of spouse must be spice." a wisecrack from our protagonist Charly Gordon (Robertson), trying to convince viewers that it is something a genius would jest with his girlfriend, both sun-drenched, lying on a cozy meadow. But this is not the Charly we know in...

Charly quotes

  • Dr. Anna Strauss: [after witnessing Charly painting nude women, furiously at Richard] What are you trying to turn him into, some kind of a sideshow freak?

    Dr. Richard Nemur: Now, Anna, don't be ridiculous.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: You're pushing your program for his intellectual development much too rapidly. It has to keep pace with my program for his emotional development, or the imbalance will become dangerous! I thought we were to be satisfied with a minor miracle...

    Dr. Richard Nemur: What are you afraid of?

    Dr. Anna Strauss: ...to help a retarded human being become a more productive member of society.

    Dr. Richard Nemur: He has shown no indication of any mental ceiling. So why are you afraid to reach for whatever that ceiling may be? In any event, we shall have to give Mrs. Kinnian her notice.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: What?

    Dr. Richard Nemur: All she can do now is ask him questions out of books that he's already absorbed. What he needs at this point is a giant step forward - new conceptualization, inductive thinking. And that calls for experts, not Alice Kinnian.

    Dr. Anna Strauss: I will say it once more, Richard: Charly Gordon is still a child emotionally.

    Dr. Richard Nemur: I don't agree.

    Alice Kinnian: Marry me?

    [Charly goes silent by refusing]

    Alice Kinnian: [sits down] All right, don't marry me.

    Charly Gordon: [smiles] Motion carried.

    Alice Kinnian: But I'm going to stay right here. Whenever you feel like telling me to go, just let me know - just tell me so. I'll go, I'll leave.

    Charly Gordon: Leave.

    [Alice goes stunned]

    Charly Gordon: Please, leave.

    Alice Kinnian: [solemnly] All right...

    [Alice hesitates then slowly heads to the door]

    Alice Kinnian: Good night.

    Charly Gordon: [without looking at her] Good night.

    [Alice leaves]
