Good Luck Miss Wyckoff (1979), starring Anne Heywood, Donald Pleasence, Robert Vaughn, Jocelyn Brando, and Carolyn Jones. The preliminary release date set by distributors is August 13th.
Official synopsis: Set in the small town of Freedom, Kansas in 1954,
Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff stars Anne Heywood as Evelyn Wyckoff, a virginal high-school teacher who learns that she has started early menopause. Feeling hopeless and isolated, she is advised by her doctor (Vaughn) and psychiatrist (Pleasance) to find a lover, which results in a series of brutal and horrifying events.
Based on a novel by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright William Inge (
Picnic, Splendor in the Grass),
Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff is a haunting story of ill-fated lust and sexual repression set against a backdrop of American racism. Written by Academy Award nominee Polly Platt (
