Bud Cort and Sally Kellerman are coming to the Aero tonight for a Q&A between two CU Altman movies… Brewster McCloud and O.C. and Stiggs….never thought i’d get the chance to see the Gila Monster Car on the big screen….
BREWSTER MCCLOUD, 1970, Warner Bros., 105 min. Director Robert Altman’s achingly funny fantasy/satire on contemporary life features Bud Cort as budding man-child Brewster McCloud, living in a forgotten corner of the Houston Astrodome. He has a dream to fly and is constantly making efforts to that end, all under the protective tutelage of guardian angel Sally Kellerman. However, life has a habit of intruding on Brewster’s dreams, both in pleasant (becoming smitten with Shelley Duvall) and not so pleasant ways (the influx of lawmen and bureaucrats who want to bring him down).
O.C. AND STIGGS, 1985, MGM, 109 min. Dir. Robert Altman. Two bored, mischievous teenagers (Daniel Jenkins and Neill Barry) torment a wealthy family headed by insurance mogul Paul Dooley in Robert Altman’s riff on the teen comedy genre. Ray Walston costars.
