- THE STERILE CUCKOO movie review, Vincent's Picks.
___________________________________________________________________________
**Music in the video written and performed by Vincent.
This is a wonderfully nostalgic movie from 1969 about the Girl Pookie Adams. A real good "popcorn cruncher" of a movie to watch on a sleepy Saturday afternoon.

Just rewatched it today after many many years. Excellent performances, especially Minnelli and I’ve always loved the theme song. In fact the song came to my head and that’s why I watched it.
Not sure I know what the movie means but I suspect there was something fishy between her father and her.
The looks she gave him at the bus stop and what she said about him always looking for women who resembled her mother, were two clues for me. Maybe she looked like her mother…..
Interesting idea about the father, never thought of it myself?
I love this movie! I took my first girlfriend to see this movie when we were at U Of Wisconsin!!
Yes, I suppose you feel a certain kinship with it.
Good review. I really like Liza's performance in this film and also "Cabaret". I love both films.
yes she is a natural actress.
I first saw this movie several years ago on TV. I LOVE this movie! very simple, few characters. That classic VW beetle...my guess it's a 1957 model. The book is nothing like the movie, it's much wilder. It's interesting to look up the locations on Google maps...especially Sylvan Beach, NY; the place where they stayed and the church. I had a tear or two at the end.
Oh I always wondered where this took place....ok ty
@@vgovger4373 It's sad that Liza's mother, Judy Garland, passed away (June 1969) before the movie was released (October 1969)...she would have been so proud of her daughter!
yes at the bus stop she says 75 miles apart.The telephone scene is off the charts.
Oh okay, I thought they were 75 miles apart....lol
Yes the phone scene was crazy.
And the Telephone Scene was the first scene filmed! Liza nailed it.
Yeah they often film out of sequence on these things.
Liza Minnelli got an Oscar nomination for Best Performance by an actress in a starring role for this movie. For info.
I thought so, wasn't sure, ty
And when she did finally win an Oscar, I thought it was really for this performance.
the overall portrayal I would think...no?

One of my favorite movies of all time!
yeah, its one of those you can watch many times and never get tired of it.
I was a college freshman in 72 and saw the picture it was a bittersweet film and watching it again shot me right back to the time and Pookie very much reminded me of my girlfriend at the time...Every one with a sentimental bone in their body will definitely bring feel a lump in their throat
Yes its emotive.

The Sandpipers didn't write "Come Saturday Morning." Fred Karlin & Dory Previn did. Cheers.
i saw this in the movies - love the book - loved the movie better.
I think this movie really has something of its own.
It just right.
This is the movie I took my first girlfriend on my first date ! Love it!!!
Cool.
I think you can tell by the title that she was sterile - unable to have chidren and that was the last straw.
That's what I thought to actually...not sure?
Pookie seems insecure but he seems a bit too self assured.
Oh, I suppose?
I think he was just very mentally stable, unlike Pookie.
If it wasn't for that little straight bore, Wendell Burton it would have been pretty good. I couldn't see anything wrong with her. A highly intelligent girl.
She was insecure.
Naturally. An intelligent girl in this society. “The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does. They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” Aldous Huxley.

I've been a Pookie myself and have had a couple of girls like her, i rank her as one of the most annoying characters in movie history!
I didn't find her annoying at all?....but needy, frustratingly so.
I thought it was me! I watched this again a few months ago. I'm not sure if I saw it in the theaters, but I would have gone to college a few years after the movie came out, so a lot of the atmosphere was familiar to me. Boy, she became aggravating to no end. The constant jumping in your face, talking about stuff no one cared about - too much to take on a long term basis. Unlike a lot of people I knew in college, I don't think she was trying to be terminally unique; she just was. She wasn't a terrible person, just hard to take in big batches.
I don't think the movie was filmed in 4:3. That would have been for a TV movie. The 4:3 is the TV version, and that's probably what circulated on the internet.
perhaps, but the first dvd copy I had was 4:3, the blu ray was wide.
It was Not Miss Minnelli's first Movie.
You should make an attempt to offer your reviews when you don't sound as though you're half asleep.
Liza Should have received an Academy Award for this movie 🎥.
I'm half asleep because for the last 8 years i've been working 6 days a week, 70 hours a week.

And how is that our fault?
@@janeleekeller....doing the best I can.

I know 😊.
@@vgovger4373
I know 😊.
Book is not the same as the movie
Yeah I have to, ill have to read it now.
Forgot how cute Liza Minnelli was in her younger days. Too many drugs, booze, and gay husbands really messed her up.
She had long hair back on her mothers variety show, looked even better.
How messed up is your mother now compared to her life before popping out a useless burden like you? Were condoms that expensive?
@@vgovger4373
At a certain age, long hair for a Woman becomes inappropriate.
