The MAN WITH TWO BRAINS

The MAN WITH TWO BRAINS
   Film (1983). Aspen Film Society. Dir Carl Reiner, starring Steve Martin, Kathleen Turner, David Warner. Screenplay Reiner, Steve Martin, George GIPE. 93 mins, cut to 86 mins. Colour.
   Pastiche is the essence of most Steve Martin comedies; his self-indulgent acting style becomes rapidly tiresome when his performances are not focused by a good director, but Reiner is good, and this is a genuinely funny film spoofing thedisembodied-brain GOTHIC tradition of DONOVAN'S BRAIN (1953). Kathleen Turner plays the man-destroying bitch whom brain surgeon Hfuhruhurr(Martin) falls in love with and marries, though she refuses sex. He transfers his affections to a bodiless brain, provided by a mad SCIENTIST (Warner), with which he forms a telepathic relationship. The wife iskilled by a serial murderer, Hfuhruhurr grafts the beloved brain into her head, and all ends happily.
