Genre: Comedy
Director: Michael Lindsay-Hogg
Cast: Glenda Jackson, Melina Mercouri, Geraldine Page, Sandy Dennis, Anne Jackson, Edith Evans, Anne Meara, Susan Penhaligon, Rip Torn, Eli Wallach
Satirizing the 1974 Watergate "burglary," this comedy is set in a Philadelphia convent where the conniving Sister Alexandra (Glenda Jackson) rules the roost (ala Nixon). Sandy Dennis, as Sister Winifred, plays the "John Dean" character to a tee. Good idea, but doesn't quite make the grade despite the good cast.

 Splendor in the Grass 1961  N/R, 124 min.
Genre: Drama / Romance
Director: Elia Kazan
Cast: Natalie Wood, Warren Beatty, Pat Hingle, Audrey Christie, Sean Garrison, Phyllis Diller, Sandy Dennis, Zohra Lampert, Barbara Loden, Gary Lockwood, Fred Stewart, Joanna Roos, John McGovern, Jan Norris, Martine Bartlett
This film marked Warren Beatty's film debut. He plays Bud Stamper whose family is affluent, and Natalie Wood plays Bud's girlfriend Deanie Loomis who has a nervous breakdown following the end of her romance with Bud. Soap? You bet. But there's some good acting, and the setting of the Midwest in the 1920s helps the atmosphere. Wood was nominated for an Oscar. Remade (for TV) in 1981.
