Agency

Poor video quality.

At the time the film was released (1980), an investigative reporter named Wilson Bryan Key published a book entitled "Subliminal Seduction" that took the advertising industry to task for allegedly inserting subliminal messages in print advertising and a Congressional investigation and hearing followed. Nonetheless, the implications for a thriller were undoubtedly in the making for a exciting motion picture.
