Mister Buddwing
Mister Buddwing is a 1966 American film drama starring James Garner, Jean Simmons, Suzanne Pleshette, Katharine Ross, and Angela Lansbury. Directed by Delbert Mann, the film depicts a well-dressed man who wakes up on a bench in Central Park with no idea who he is. He proceeds to wander around Manhattan desperately trying to figure out his own identity. He meets various women, played by Lansbury, Ross, Pleshette, and Simmons, and each woman triggers fragments of his deeply-buried memories.
Plot
A man wakes up on a New York park bench to find that his mind is a total blank. He has no identification or money on him, just a slip of folded paper in his pocket, enclosing two large white pills and with a phone number written on it.
