Is that the one where they give an "intelligence serum" or something to a janitor and he gets smarter but he dies?

@FaylenMoonleaf: Not quite. "Charly" the DD janitor becomes exceptionally intelligent via a serum first tested on a mouse named Algernon, and in the course of being coached in social skills, the coach and Charles fall in love. Acter tasting romance, maturity and celebrity, the mental effect tragically proves temporary, and at the end, Charly alone is blissfully forgetful of the heartbreak all around him, save for one painful temporary, accidental encounter with the coach. Ending: Charly asks if he can put flowers on the mouse's grave.
