Hauser's Memory (1970)


Universal Pictures
Directed by Boris Sagal
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Rarefilmm) 

A young scientist injects himself with the RNA of a dead spy who knows government secrets, saving his older mentor from the ordeal. He proceeds to gradually reclaim the memories of the man, and eventually adopts his personality. He turns out to have worked for the Nazis and the Russians, and to have been tortured by both, so sets off to Europe to settle some old scores. Interesting sci-fi angle (if totally implausible) turns into a boring Nazi revenge story somewhere along the way. Good cast, mostly wasted.
