Mirage (1965)

Storyline

An accountant’s memory suddenly becomes mixed up starting from the moment the building he is in has a power blackout. He is bewildered that he can’t recall even simple particulars of his job and places he does remember don’t exist. Believing he has some type of amnesia, he tries to backtrack what happened before the blackout. Aided by a rookie detective and confused by an old girl friend, he tries to make sense of inconsistent facts while people around him are being murdered.
