Baffled!

Baffled! is a 1973 television movie intended as a pilot for a television series. The story is part of the occult detective sub-genre. Race car driver Tom Kovack (played by Leonard Nimoy) suddenly begins to experience psychic visions. 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. The film's premise, teaming the sceptical but psychic Tom with the non-psychic believer Michelle, have been compared with the relationship between Agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully on the later The X-Files.
