That Cold Day in the Park Page #3

Synopsis: Robert Altman's sadly neglected film that, along with his later "Images", fits into the unconventional psycho-thriller mold. A bizarre story with Sandy Dennis as a spinster who takes in a handsome young man (Michael Burns) who is pretending to be mute. She imprisons the boy and supplies his every need, including a prostitute (Luana Anders), whom she goes out and brings home for Burns' pleasure.

You know, for your services.

Everyone knows

it has a price, the

strokes of a young man.

This is true.

Kind if your sister was corn,

she would pay me.

You've been a long time in this old?

Until tonight and she was not old.

I did not say it was.

She must be hot.

It was really better than

staying here or at home.

I had my own room.

Why then you're gone?

I do not know. I was

tired to say anything.

Damn...

She does not speak to you?

She did it! It was me who said nothing.

You done your number? Your thing, here?

Your little number?

What thing?

Always the same.

It is that since he is a kid.

He said no more.

For days.

Why are you out then?

- He told you.

He said what?

Nothing, he just told you.

He not speak to him.

It is very strange.

I've never seen anyone speaking much.

What a beautiful day!

It's sad to stay locked.

You scared me.

It is 9:
30. As usual.

Want some coffee? I did not make tea.

No, thank you, I'll start right away.

I start?

The bed in the guest room.

The bed? Expected someone?

No, I slept.

You do not have lunch?

No, I was not hungry.

Go back to bed, while I discarded.

No, I'll take a bath.

You tell me for lunch.

I'm not hungry.

Even a cup of broth?

It will do you good, it goes alone.

I want nothing, Ms. Parnell. Eat only.

Yes?

Scram! It does not interest us.

Come in, see.

Hopefully, he's a friend.

Come in, please.

Sit.

Welcome back.

This is for me?

Cookies.

With a pastry or homemade?

You made them?

Take off your coat.

I finished the household?

No, go for it today.

If you have errands to run, go ahead.

Or rather go to lunch.

Are you hungry?

I bring you to lunch?

Let therefore, do not worry about us.

I put it on a tray and eat here.

You go without eating?

Hopefully, I will not bother you.

Do not be silly. Take at least a coffee.

Where's the corkscrew?

Here.

This bottle one?

It is very good. It

is him whom the doctor.

Yes, I want good wine.

What could I take another? Fruit, maybe.

Here, the open end.

These cookies do not inspire me.

He has made himself.

- They burned.

They were scratched.

Nobody forces you R eat.

I hope so!

I do not want to be

unkind but I'm very busy!

We'll be there for your party bridge.

No, I think it has changed.

The location or date home

or at home, I do not know.

My God...

I'm not dressed.

Excuse me, I have to get

dressed if you let it.

I scare you?

I scared you.

You know what I did?

I played Dr. Colin...

buff!

Blind Man's Bluff. You know to play it?

I played at school. You know what it is?

I found.

You have three chances.

A...

Not.

Two.

No, that's not it at all.

It comes from my high school.

My tie.

You see...

Gillian Freeman

Gillian Freeman (born 5 December 1929) is a British writer. Born to Jewish parents Dr. Jack Freeman and his wife Freda (née Davids) in North London, she graduated in English Language and Literature from the University of Reading in 1951. She married Edward Thorpe, novelist and ballet critic of the Evening Standard, in 1955. They have two daughters, the actresses Harriet Thorpe and Matilda Thorpe. One of her best known books was the 1961 novel The Leather Boys (published under the pseudonym Eliot George, a reference to the writer George Eliot), a story of a gay relationship between two young working-class men, later turned into a film for which she wrote the screenplay, this time under her own name. The novel was commissioned by the publisher Anthony Blond, who wanted a story about a "Romeo and Romeo in the South London suburbs". Her non-fiction book The Undergrowth of Literature (1967), was a pioneering study of pornography. In 1979, on another commission from Blond, she wrote a fictional diary, Nazi Lady: The Diaries of Elisabeth von Stahlenberg, 1938–48; Freeman's authorship was not at first revealed and many readers took it to be genuine. Her most recent book is But Nobody Lives in Bloomsbury (2006), a fictional study of the Bloomsbury Group. more…
