"Low Men in Yellow Coats," if you can believe a movie was actually made about THAT. Ted was played by Anthony Hopkins. Here's the IMDB page on it:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0252501/
And here's a quote from a review found on that page. It really sums up the complete disappointment found in the movie:
"One bad aspect of the movie version however, is the elimination of all supernatural elements. Instead of making Anthony Hopkins' character a Breaker from the Dark Tower universe King has created, like Brautigan is in the book, he is a psychic sought by the FBI to root out communists (hey, this is 1960 after all). So the string is still intact: Of the more than 30 movies based on the work of Stephen King, not a single one even mentions the Dark Tower.
How unfortunate."
