The Sterile Cuckoo (part 8/9)

Two students from neighboring colleges in upstate New York are swept up in a tragic romantic interlude calling for a maturity of vision beyond their experience of capabilities. Pookie Adams - a kooky, lonely misfit with no family and no place to go, insists on calling all those who won't participate in her world, "weirdos," clings to a quiet studious Jerry, who has the ability to make a choice of living in Pookie's private little world or be accepted by the society that Pookie rejects. Unwittingly, it is through their awkward relationship that Pookie actually prepares Jerry for the world of "weirdos" that she doesn't fit into or wish to be apart of.

Back in the late 1960's when a guy got flunk notices at college, that usually meant getting his ass sent over to Vietnam within a few months!

It's over Pookie...so sad!

the phone scene, the part when she shows up almost naked, and the great scene showing the sign "Will you like to peal a Toamote" Classic! But I still think he's an Morron, for not understand her!

Some great acting by Liza during the telephone sequence. I can see why she got an Oscar nomination.
