What’s It About
Raised in a strict Catholic family, Theresa (Diane Keaton) teaches deaf children during the day and cruises singles bars and discos at night. Theresa favors rough sex with random suitors, ignoring the advances of well-meaning but nerdy social worker James (William Atherton). Instead, Theresa pursues the likes of Tony (Richard Gere), whose threatening knife and swagger excite her. Theresa indulges in increasingly dangerous encounters, putting her life at risk.
Why It’s Gone
After months of searching, It seems the studio has forgotten about this mega-hit. Also, the audience that saw this film back in 1977 forgot about it. I guess most people that do know about it, myself included, assumed it was always available. This is what happens when you take things for granted. Here’s hoping the studio that owns the rights to this movie produces a Blu-ray version soon.
