Baffled! was intended as a pilot for a television series[2] 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.[4]
Race car driver Tom Kovack (played by Leonard Nimoy) suddenly begins to experience psychic visions.[3] He meets Michelle Brent (played by Susan Hampshire), 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.
Scorpion Releasing, in conjunction with ITV, released a DVD of Baffled! in 2014.[4] The DVD included both the UK version and U.S versions of the film.[4]
