A man awakes on a Central Park bench, not knowing his name or how he got there. Adrift in the city, he sees a beer truck pass by. Then an airplane flies overhead. Piecing the two events together, the man chooses Buddwing as his nameā¦and continues his desperate sidewalk quest to discover his true identity. James Garner portrays lost, disoriented Buddwing in this compelling mystery drama directed by Delbert Mann (Marty) and featuring a cast that includes Angela Lansbury, Suzanne Pleshette, Katharine Ross and Jean Simmons. There's another player, too: enveloping, challenging, intriguing New York City. Look for Nichelle Nichols, who became Star Trek's Lt. Uhura that same year.
