Blindfold

Rock Hudson plays a psychiatrist recruited by a member of the American military to treat a brilliant scientist that he saw at one point a few years earlier. The scientist is convinced he's been abducted, and when he's able to briefly escape and contact his sister (Claudia Cardinale), she tracks down Hudson. The doc has his own doubts, especially once he's approached by a man claiming to work for the CIA, who says the general is in fact a Russian.

Problem being, there's so much security involved he can't get in touch with anyone who either can or will corroborate either person's story. And since he's flown to where the scientist is located and blindfolded for the remainder of the drive, he doesn't have a clue where to look for anyone. In the meantime, he has a burgeoning romance going with Cardinale.

Well, he does and then he doesn't, mostly pending whatever whim the general (or "George" as he tells Hudson to call him) decides. Break it off, keep it going, break it off. The guy is so focused on security even he doesn't know what's going on in his head. Hudson doesn't help matters by being a serial engager, to the point he's known in the society columns as "Bluebeard"? I'm surprised people would care about what a psychiatrist gets up to, but maybe the women he keeps getting involved with are big deals.

It's a little slapstick at times, like the fight scene with the CIA guy's goons in the park. I think those goons' previous employer was a one-off 1960s Batman villain. There's also a mule involved in the big finale, that poor creature. Stuck lugging a bunch of ungrateful morons around through a swamp.
