Under the direction of Canadian Lindsay Shonteff, eschews a straightforward narrative in favour of an almost documentary approach.

TELL ME THAT YOU LOVE ME, JUNIE MOON DVD (1970) $14.99
run time: 113 mins. USA. Color.
directed by: Otto Preminger
description: "Junie Moon" contains what may well be Liza Minnelli's best non-musical performance. Based on the novel by Marjorie Kellogg, the film surprisingly manages to evoke humor and pathos from some of the least promising material in movie history. Minnelli plays an emotionally imbalanced young girl whose face is horribly disfigured by her psycho boyfriend Ben Piazza. Ken Howard is cast as an epileptic who has wrongly been diagnosed as mentally retarded. And Robert Moore (future director of such films as The Cheap Detective and Murder by Death) portrays a homosexual, confined to a wheelchair after a hunting accident. Unfortunately, some filmgoers, assuming that any film with a title like Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon just had to be a campy laff riot, were turned off by the repellant aspects of the early scenes and refused to give the rest of this fascinating film a chance.
