The Sterile Cuckoo - DVD

Alan J. Pakulas directorial debut stars Liza Minnelli (CABARET) as Pookie Adams, a relentlessly kooky coed who falls in love with a reserved young college student, Jerry Payne (Wendell Burton). She actively pursues the shy boyish-man and helps him through the tough first months in school. They both benefit from the relationship; he gains self-confidence and she's now able to come to grips with her unhappy home life, but sadly he gradually outgrows her. This very realistic and heartbreaking love story received two Oscar nominations, one for Minnelli (Best Actress) and one for Fred Karlin and Dory Previn for their song, InchCome Saturday MorningInch.

Self-doubting psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Richard Burton) was court-appointed to examine Alan Strang (Peter Firth), a 17-year-old stableboy who willfully blinded a half-dozen horses. As the doctor determinedly picks at his subject's lifelong fixation with the animals, and strict religious upbringing, he'll find a stunning interconnection. Shattering, emotion-packed adaptation of Peter Shaffer's award-winning play co-stars Joan Plowright, Colin Blakely, Jenny Agutter; directed by Sidney Lumet. 138 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English
