Double Feature!

TALL STORY 1960
U.S. film. Excellent quality. 16:9 widescreen. Bobby Darin sings title song. Music by Shelly Manne and André Previn. Tall Story is a farcical social satire of American campus life. It satirizes the way college life can become a marriage market for some students.

The story takes place at the fictional Custer University. Ray Blent (Anthony Perkins) is an honor student and college basketball star. June Ryder (Jane Fonda) has come to the university to study home economics and to find a husband.

The students and faculty are scandalized by her unashamed pursuit of Blent. She joins the cheerleader troupe and attends all the classes taken by Blent to ensure she has maximum contact with him. Everyone is aware of her designs on the sexually naive Blent except for him.

She succeeds in convincing him that she has an intelligent, inquiring mind that he admires, although this is all done through deception. Ryder eventually gets Blent to fall for her and propose marriage. However, they need several thousand dollars to set up home.

Blent is secretly propositioned, via a radio message, by a gambling syndicate to lose a key game with a visiting Russian team. He refuses to do this but is unable to return the money, as he doesn't know who is behind the bribe. Rather than deliberately throw a game, he decides to fail an ethics exam, which automatically disqualifies him from playing.

Future star Robert Redford made his big-screen debut as a basketball player. Anthony Perkins, Jane Fonda, Ray Walston, Marc Connelly, Anne Jackson, Murray Hamilton, Tom Laughlin, Gary Lockwood, Robert Redford, Joe E. Ross, Van Williams.
