Skeedaddy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It is amazing what almost 40 years can do to change the opinion of a movie. I took a girl on a first date to see The Sterile Cuckoo while in college. Although I thought it was ok and she loved it what impressed me was a scene where Pookie is on the phone to Jerry. 40 years later my wife and I are watching the movie and all I can remember is the telephone scene. It is amazing scene that is difficult to perform and something that drama students should study. I can see now why the movie got some Oscar nominations. In some ways is typical of late 60's college romance movies but it really holds up as a story of two young in love for a moment in time. The acting is really good and it is worth checking out.
