Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon is a 1970 American comedy-drama film directed and produced by Otto Preminger.[1] The film is based on the novel of the same name by Marjorie Kellogg.

Plot

Junie Moon is a girl whose face is scarred in a vicious battery acid attack by her boyfriend Jesse. Later in an institution, she meets a man with epilepsy, Arthur, and a gay paraplegic who uses a wheelchair, Warren. Disabled, but not down, they live together in an older, rented house and bond, determined to prove themselves and to help each other.[2]

Release and legacy

Unlike Minnelli's previous film, 1969's The Sterile Cuckoo, which was successful artistically and financially, as well as netting Minnelli an Oscar nomination as Best Actress, Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon was a failure with critics and at the box office. Minnelli's next film two years later, Cabaret, not only won her the Academy Award as Best Actress, but also established her as a major star. Olive Films announced in 2016 that it would release Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon on DVD and Blu-ray for the first time on August 16, 2016.[3][4]
