Crazy Love
(USA, 2007, directed by Dan Klores
92 minutes)
This compelling and wildly entertaining documentary introduces us to two people tied together for decades by obsessive devotion, co-dependence, and a single unforgivable act. When Linda Riss met Burt Pugach in 1957, she was a gorgeous, ambitious 20-year-old and he was a smooth-talking, high-flying older Manhattan lawyer. He was struck immediately by her youth and beauty, and she was quickly awed by his success, his Cadillac, and the jet-setting world he opened up to her. Very soon, the entire world would know their story. Located amid the pragmatic conventionalism of New York Jewish life in the late ’50s, this film deftly explores a love’s capacity both to build and to destroy. Crazy Love is an unforgettable film, a testament to the maxim that fact is often more unbelievable than fiction.
4:00 pm screening guest speaker: Ellie Tesher
7:30 pm screening guest speaker: Rosa Bergman
