Independent U.S. distributors Scorpion Releasing have confirmed that they will release a Limited Blu-ray Edition of director Frank Perry's (
The Swimmer)
David and Lisa (1962), starring Keir Dullea, Janet Margolin, Howard Da Silva, Clifton James, and Neva Patterson. The release is expected to arrive on the U.S. market later this year.
Synopsis: Classic American 60s film about two emotionally disturbed teenagers drawn to each other in a mental institution. Portrayed unforgettably by Janet Margolin (Annie Hall) and Keir Dullea (
2001: A Space Odyssey), the painfully shy Lisa can communicate only through rhyme, and David cannot bear being touched. Strongly attracted to each other, they develop a deep bond that changes both of their lives. Directed by Frank Perry (
Diary Of A Mad Housewife, TV's A Christmas Memory) with a strong supporting performance by Howard Da Silva as the compassionate psychiatrist, this powerful film will leave its mark on you forever.
