The Sterile Cuckoo. The ads for "The Sterile Cuckoo" remind us that you can fall in love for the first time only once in your life. True enough, but that begs the question of whether Pookie and Jerry are really in love. I doubt it. Their relationship is based more on need: her need to be loved, and his need to make love. When they're able to fulfill their needs simultaneously, they convince themselves they're in love. But making love is not the same thing as giving love, and the movie is about how they gradually figure that out. It shouldn't take them as long as it does, but Pookie is so neurotically dependent that she hangs on much too long. And Jerry is slow. Stupid might be a better word. Both characters are presented as freshmen in college, having their first love affair. They're awfully normal kids, at least in exterior ways. They go to aggressively typical colleges in upstate New York, where the biggest thing on campus is a fraternity beer party. They wear college sweatshirts and their hair short. When it comes time for them to consummate their affair, they do what any 1927 Scott Fitzgerald hero would do: Go to a crummy motel and rent a room. They aren't of the current generation, but they're not really apart from it. I suppose there are more Pookies and Jerrys in the freshman class, even today, than sexually and politically sophisticated types. Director Alan J. Pakula has chosen, deliberately I suppose, to isolate his kids from any 1969 concerns and show them completely in terms of each other. For maybe 80 per cent of the movie they're the only ones on screen. Liza Minnelli plays Pookie as an appealing eccentric who gradually cracks up as her hang-ups surface. Pookie is basically interested only in herself -- boringly so, at times. But at least she cares enough to make an effort to reach someone else. Jerry (played by Wendell Burton) doesn't even care that much. He's the kind of kid who stays on campus over Easter vacation, claiming he has to study -- and really does. Pookie fastens herself to him for neurotic reasons of her own, but she chooses the wrong guy. Jerry is offensively passive, lifeless, colorless, undistinguished. He'll grow up into the kind of guy who claims he only works here. Pakula tells their story in two ways. Most of the film is engagingly honest. There's a sad, funny scene in the motel room as Jerry mechanically undresses Pookie. There's a good scene in the fraternity house when Pookie gets drunk. A finely acted performance by Tim McIntire, as Jerry's roommate. And, of course, there's Miss Minnelli's justly celebrated telephone scene, during which she begs, pleads and cajoles Jerry in an attempt to salvage their relationship. This scene is not quite the greatest piece of acting in the history of the movies (although Life magazine would have us believe so), but it is sensitive and good. It is on a level, this year, with Cathy Burns' monolog in "Last Summer," and Shirley Knight's long phone call at the beginning of "The Rain People." It will probably win Miss Minnelli an Oscar. She works for the largest and most powerful agency in Hollywood, and they're spending a lot of money hailing it as great art. It is damned good, as I've said, but I think they're overselling it. In any event, all of these scenes and most of the movie are honest and pretty straight with us. Pakula has a real feel for this relationship and for these two people, and he tells their story well. Where he goes wrong is when he tries to give "The Sterile Cuckoo" the look of a conventional love movie. When he deliberately tries to be contemporary. We squirm in our seats as the Sandpipers sing "Come Saturday Morning" until you wonder if there aren't any other days in the week. As I observe here at least twice a month, the Semi-Obligatory Lyrical Interlude has had it as a useful movie device. Every other movie sticks in one of those syrupy Salem ads with the lovers floating over the countryside with the hit single on the sound track. "Sterile Cuckoo" has not one, nor even two, but no less than three of these insufferable scenes. They seriously interfere with the rhythm of the movie, and they present Pookie and Jerry as conventional lovers -- something that is not established in any of the movie's dramatic scenes. The result is a schizo directing job. Pakula has a good story, and tells it, and then gums it up with the unnecessary scenes he probably felt obligated to include. So "The Sterile Cuckoo" is not as good as it should have been because it lacks consistency of tone. But parts of it are awfully good, and Miss Minnelli is one hell of an actress. Roger Ebert.

F.I.L.M. showcases The Sterile Cuckoo (1969) by Karina Bayrakdarian ’21, A&E Editor. On Sunday, Feb. 2, at 2 p.m., The Sterile Cuckoo (1969), a film shot on and around Hamilton College’s campus in the late 1960s, was screened in Bradford Auditorium. The event was part of the Forum on Image and Language Motion (F.I.L.M.) Series organized by Scott MacDonald, Director of Cinema and Media Studies. The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name written by alumnus John Nichols ’62, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Alvin Sargent. The director and producer was Alan J. Pakula, who had produced To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and would go on to direct All the President’s Men (1976). For these films, Pakula was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director, respectively. Nichols advocated shooting the film as near as possible to Hamilton College, where he had been an undergraduate and from which experience he had derived much of the novel’s source. The Sterile Cuckoo chronicles a year of experiences between two college freshmen, “Pookie” (Liza Minnelli) and Jerry (Wendell Burton), each only beginning to determine their life path. Meeting on the bus to their respective campuses, the outspoken Pookie overwhelms the unassuming Jerry, who nonetheless agrees to see her regularly as they begin their education. While they both initially seem to benefit from being together, Jerry is having an easier time adapting to meeting new people and being social, whereas Pookie’s combination of brash, alienating behavior and crippling loneliness only increases. Pakula and his 65-member Paramount crew were on and around the Hill from Sept. 11 until Oct. 15, 1968. They rounded up about 125 Hamilton and Kirkland College students to use as extras and filmed largely on campus. Jerry’s residence hall is a composite, which is fairly obvious to the Hamilton student viewer. When Jerry looks out his window, he is at 3 College Hill Road, looking across the street at 20 College Hill Road, the “boarding house” where Pookie stays when visiting campus. In the scenes outside his residence hall, though, they’ve been transported to the front of Eells House or — in the memorable houseparty scene — to the back porch of Woollcott House. Stairwell scenes were shot in South Hall. Other key scenes were filmed at Oudin’s Court in Sylvan Beach (now Sunset Cottages) and the Union Chapel next door — which were added to the script on the spot because the chapel’s proximity to Pookie and Jerry’s love nest “seemed too good to be true.” Oddly, Hamilton’s Chapel went unused except for brief exterior shots. The film’s cemetery scene, set in Hamilton’s cemetery in the novel, was moved to nearby Skyline Drive. Vernon Center’s park at the western end of College Hill Road served as the rural bus stop near “Winslow.” Interior and exterior shots were also filmed in Clinton Village, featuring the Breakaway Lounge and the Village Tavern (which even got a passing mention). Ultimately, Nichols said, “I thought Pakula made a gentle, delicate, awkward film. It made Liza Minnelli a star, got her an Academy Award nomination, won a Grammy for its sappy theme song, and sent Pakula on his way toward All the President’s Men and Sophie’s Choice , and Liza got to do Cabaret . You know, it wasn’t my movie, it was their movie, as it should have been, and I’m glad it kind of worked out.”
