I knew Robin Williamdsand Robert de Nero were the main characters. After checking it with IMDB I found it was a film called "Awakenings" where patients in a catatonic state were brought out of the condition and one of the characters in particular (Robert de Nero) became highly intelligent but just like in the Charly and Flowers for Algernon he regressed to his old self. The story line is very similar. I think this version was based on some truth, or as much as you get in a movie.</p> My memory is suspect on this one.
