Baffled! is a 1973 American-British made-for-television supernatural mystery film directed by Philip Leacock.[2][3] The story is part of the occult detective subgenre and starred Leonard Nimoy,[4] Susan Hampshire,[1] and Vera Miles.[1]

Baffled! was intended as a pilot for a television series[3] but when no network showed interest it was released in British theatres[1] and later released as a television film in America on NBC.[1] The British version runs ten minutes longer than the American.[5]

Plot

Race car driver Tom Kovack suddenly begins to experience psychic visions.[4] He meets Michelle Brent, an expert on the paranormal, and the two form an unlikely partnership. Kovack's visions draw them into an occult-themed mystery at a remote inn on the English coast.
