The movie was adapted by Stirling Silliphant from the novel Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
Yes, same concept as ‘Awakenings’ with Robert De Niro. Both mirror the path from child to adult and the longing to return to innocence of childhood. Garden of Eden, eating the forbidden fruit and all that.
A real man who stood up for what he believed was truth, not what would ‘get him ahead’.
RIP Cliff Robertson...
