That Cold Day in the Park Page #6

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.

This is probably fatigue.

I try to have a discussion with you.

I would, but it's late.

It is 21:
30.

You brandy?

Yes, use.

Thank you.

Lying to me.

Certainly.

Migraine?

No, it's okay.

I do not have a migraine.

It will if you do not you relax.

I'm tired.

Frances.

We know long.

Can I afford a comment some deem moved?

I never mentioned your privacy.

Our friendship

and I considre as sincere,

Blows has made the surface.

What I mean is that...

It is not a whim

but a deliberate thing.

I'm sure sometimes you need to be loved.

Bend your knees and get a little.

Now put your feet in stirrups.

Perfect.

down a little more.

Everything okay?

Are you sure?

Yes, I had an exhausting day.

Frances, people trust See

you often their doctor.

They forget one thing.

A doctor also has its problems.

Loneliness is.

I am alone, like many others.

I need someone.

Charles, I think that's enough.

Sorry, I...

- I'm sorry.

You told me maybe misunderstood.

When I spoke of love...

I did not mean...

I wanted to talk...

tenderness, understanding, but no...

You do not believe me so presumptuous.

I do not want to offend you.

Maybe with time...

Charles will.

This must be my fault.

I withdraw.

Can I call you tomorrow?

Sleep well.

You sleep?

I do not.

I had a tough day.

I'm too tired to sleep.

But most importantly,

it makes me feel weird to have you home.

I used to be alone.

I wonder...

You must think I'm all alone...

I am, it is true, but

I do not think about it.

My mother was always saying

she was lonely after

the death of my father.

She kept repeating.

As if I was not for her no company.

But it was old and senile...

I do not think about it.

Old people disgust me

with their feelings.

You think I'm old? I was wondering...

You know...

I have a friend.

He is a doctor.

And he wants all the

time make love to me.

All the time.

It does not please me at all.

But he still wants me.

I hate him to touch me.

Looks like an old man. He feels old.

I've known...

ten years.

That has never changed.

It is always the same.

It is always impeccable.

His shirts, shoes.

I remember your shoes

the day of your arrival.

You wear them without laces.

Without socks either.

I had never seen someone without socks.

It gave me something.

His shoes are classy about him.

Shined.

Rather small.

When he sits, we see her garters.

Always he pulls his pants

at the knees.

You know what I mean?

I think he needs me

but I've never felt for him.

I'm to be alone, it disgusts me.

I would like to know

if you really sleep.

You're very strong if you pretend.

Do you mind if I lie?

I stay on the covers. I lie, that's all.

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…
