Creator is a 1985 film directed by Ivan Passer, starring Peter O'Toole, Vincent Spano, Mariel Hemingway, and Virginia Madsen. It is based on a book of the same title by Jeremy Leven.
Dr. Harry Wolper is an eccentric medical professor teaching at a small southern California college who is obsessed with making a clone of his wife Lucy who died in childbirth 30 years earlier. Harry hires Boris Lafkin, a struggling pre-med student as his personal assistant to help him with his experiments by obtaining lab equipment and working in his backyard shed in exchange for which Harry gives Boris love life advice in courting an attractive coed named Barbara who slowly becomes smitten with Boris. To continue his research into cloning, Harry meets and employes a young woman, named Meli, who practically moves in with him on an agreement to contribute her ovary sample as part of the cloning progress. Meli slowly falls for the much older Harry who begins to question his ethics and vision of true love. Meanwhile, a rival of Harry's, fellow medical professor Dr. Sid Kuhlenbeck, tries to investigate and hinder Harry's cloning plans as part of a ploy to remove Harry from the university to take over Harry's lab for himself.
Dr. Harry Wolper is a character. First he steals Boris, a new student assistant by promising him a co-ed's phone number. Then he hijacks new high tech equipment for his own research, confusing the other university researchers who can't see "the big picture." Harry has a plan, he wants to clone his dead wife, but first he needs an egg and a host. He mounts his search by stapling notices to every telephone pole in town from his bike, which is how he meets Mili. As the year progresses, he sees Boris' romance follow the same pattern as his own, twenty-five years ago.

Boris: Wanna know something really crazy, Harry?::Dr Harry Wolper: Always.
Boris: We're gonna do it, Harry.::Dr Harry Wolper: Oh no. YOU. Are going to do it.
Dr Harry Wolper: I tell you Sid, that one of these days we'll look in to our microscope and find ourselves staring right into God's eyes, and the first one who blinks is going to lose his testicles.
Boris: You know, Harry, I'm still trying to find the big picture but I keep missing it because I am so in love with Barbara that nothing else matters.::Dr Harry Wolper: What makes you think you are missing it?
Dr Harry Wolper: Another of the dilemmas "in which we are all", Pavlo, is that there are too many damn machines around here. We're all missing The Big Picture.
Dr Harry Wolper: Sequencer? Sid doesn't need a sequencer, Pavlo.... And he doesn't have the room for it anyway.::Pavlo: Oh, he put all of his animals in my lab.::[pause]::Dr Harry Wolper: Sid may have the only biology lab in the world that has nothing alive in it.
Mrs Pruitt: [to Dr Wolper] Dr Novak called. He said that your proposed address to the Medical Congress on "The Profit Incentive in Misdiagnosis" is really not very funny at all.
Dr Harry Wolper: Any news on that student assistant I want?::Mrs Pruitt: Oh, yes. Mrs Gonzalez from the registrar's office called with regard to your request for another slave, and wanted me to remind you that she is still waiting to hear why exactly it is that you permitted Dennis Goffman to submit the Bible for his dissertation. Quote, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I subject another graduate student to the kind of zoo that - " and then she started speaking in Spanish.
Boris: That's it? One course in "The Big Picture". 12 credits.::Dr Harry Wolper: It's very big. 12 credits probably isn't enough, it's so big.::Boris: I think I'll go back down to registration.::Dr Harry Wolper: There are no exams. Grades are based on interest and participation.::Boris: It's ok with me, I like exams.::Dr Harry Wolper: MY assistantships pay $3,500.::Boris: So do everybody else's.::Dr Harry Wolper: Also, I know the name of the girl you followed into the lab.::[pause]::Boris: I need to think.::Dr Harry Wolper: Think there.
Dr Sid Kullenbeck: Come on Harry, I need him. I'm running a tight well-oiled machine over in my lab, and every insignificant little cog counts. Now where the hell is the little fucker?::Boris: The little fucker is over here, sir.

Here's the main theme from "Creator" (1985), composed by Sylvester Levay. I downloaded this real high-tone musical theme, import this VHS cover and the musical theme, saved it to the large sized video. Delete the musical theme and a picture, import this video and change the speed to little slow, so the real musical theme now sounds like the real standard tone. I know this musical theme sounds little bitty slowly, but it's only way about the standard tone version of this musical theme. Made with Windows Movie Maker. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. P.S. -- For high tone version of it, see this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcZVm0s6yIo).
Underestimated film; a warm tribute to the unusual and inspired change. Star role for Peter O'Toole.

Here's my homemade version of "Creator" (1985), which I played on one of electronic piano keyboards. I chose Electric Piano Concerto (instrument) as I played the musical theme. Inspired by and special thanks to Sylvester Levay. I recorded the musical theme (which I played on an electronic piano keyboard) with the mic (microphone). Made with Windows Movie Maker. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING. P.S. -- Although I played this musical theme, there the real musical theme which has the standard tone version of it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npRvwnYRgzo).
Saw you in the subway, twisting and falling
Train echoes in the stale air of a tunnel
Falling
Spinning in circles
We lose all direction
And fall where no arms can come rushing to catch us
Saw you on the 14th floor, twisting and falling
Scream bounces in the bright sun of a canyon
Fading
Hang on
Don't wake up
