…during my first and only viewing 36 years ago, in the fall of ‘78. So I gave it another whirl last night on the Criterion Channel, and I couldn’t even pay attention to the particulars because the late Berry Berenson prominently costars, and I couldn’t stop thinking about the last few minutes of her life.
Berenson was on American flight #11 on 9.11.01.
The sister of Barry Lyndon’s Marisa Berenson, Berry was married in the Rudolph film and in real life to Remember My Name costar Tony Perkins, whom I saw and rather admired in a B’way stage version of Equus in ‘77 or thereabouts. (He died in ‘92 from AIDs-related maladies.) Geraldine Chaplin (34 then, 80 now) is the nutter lead. Berry is/was the mother of horror director Oz Perkins.
Anyway I tried and tried but couldn’t get past the 9/11 association.
