Vintage sci-fi
Again semi Sci-Fi very Cold War, but I remember as a kid seeing a movie where an agent has had a terrible accident and returned with his head covered by a steel casing which can't be removed. The whole film is around the character's torments, and his bosses (or are they?) trying to work out if it's really him or an imposter.
That's all I remember of the film.
A few years later in the 70s I bought a book purely on the strength of its cover called Who? by Algis Budrys. Only as I began reading it did I realise it was the same story. I read the book many times but it's long since lost, chucked out, who knows.
I've never seen the film since and really should track it down. Unfortunately IMDB chose to show its most inappropriate renaming and video cover:
Who?
