Losey's Accident features a fictional philosopher.
And of course the Audrey Hepburn character is interested in the
mind-body problem and signs up as a model to go to Paris to meet the
leader of emphaticalist philosophy, which hasn't anything to do with
existentialism but the satire is obviously aimed at existentialism.
Hepburn sings the great line "My philosophical search has left me in the
lurch." On the surface not much actual philosophical content beyond
"Think pink if you want to have that quelque'chose" but how could a
movie with Fred Astaire not have something to do with the mind-body problem.
