THE STERILE CUCKOO Free Screenings Tribute

THE STERILE CUCKOO

Description

Pookie (Liza Minnelli) is an eccentric, neurotic, and positively adorable college student determined to make reserved entomologist Jerry (Wendell Burton) fall madly in love with her. Alan J. Pakula’s 1969 feature debut is tender and profound, a contained story of first love whose impact resounds even 50 years later.
