Frankenheimer is extremely underrated and the dramatic scenes in Seconds between Arthur and his wife before and after his transformation are genuinely heartbreaking. The moment where Emily kisses him and he remains stone faced and his revelation as Tony to his lack of emotion he showed his wife, it sticks with you. The question of, "what have I done with my time?" isn't even the most interesting thing posed by this film; absolute shame it was slammed upon release but thanks to Criterion's beautiful edition of it, it'll live on... unlike Antiochus Wilson.
