Directed by Robert Altman.
Robert Altman’s second theatrical feature was the first to suggest his original, iconoclastic wit. The study of a lonesome woman (a haunting Sandy Dennis) and the young man (Michael Burns) she literally brings in from the cold, the film hints at the sexlessness and soullessness of the bourgeoisie, before going on to make the same point quite directly in a shocking finale.
