Charly (1968) George W. “Charly” Bush is a mildly retarded scion of a wealthy but politically myopic family. He does poorly at school, work, and even has to be bailed out of his military commitment by friends of his influential father. Charly is taken to the clinic of Dr. Rove, where he is introduced to Algernon, a mouse who has had a small chunk of Hitler’s brain grafted onto his own. Algernon has organized the other laboratory mice into an efficient mouse chorus, capable of singing showtunes such as “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man” from “Showboat.” Dr. Rove laughs as he tells Charly what became of the mice that couldn’t carry a tune. Inspired, Charly asks if he can have a piece of Hitler’s brain, too. After the operation, Charly slowly becomes more and more politically adept, and eventually becomes president of the United States of America. However, midway through his second term, he receives the news that Algernon not only regressed and died, but that the laboratory mice could never really sing and that Dr. Rove had simply hidden a tape recorder that played tapes a little too fast. What will happen to Charly?
