April 25 1975 

Adapted for the screen by Max Ehrlich from his own same-titled 1973 novel, and directed by J. Lee Thompson, The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud opens to dismissive reviews. Michael Sarrazin stars as the titular California college professor bedeviled by a recurring dream of what appears to be a man's murder. Scenes from a tourism documentary that mirror images from his nightmares lead him to a small town in Massachusetts where dreams become reality and the full horror of his reincarnation is finally revealed. A loopy, convoluted psychic thriller with more nudity than thrills, co-starring Margot Kidder, Jennifer O'Neill and Cornelia Sharpe
