{"product_id":"0887090043304","title":"The Sterile Cuckoo","description":"The Sterile Cuckoo marks the directorial debut for producer Alan J.Paluka and the film bow for Wendell Burton. Burton plays Jerry, a shy and sexually inexperienced student of entomology at a college in upstate New York. He meets Pookie (Liza Minnelli) on a bus one day. He falls for the glib, extroverted freshman and the two begin to spend time together. Jerry soon learns she uses humor to cover the wounds of a lonely childhood which began with her mother's death while giving birth to her. The two make love after a nervous Jerry watches her undress in a hotel room. She can't relate to his party-animal friends who are more interested in beer blasts than higher education. The Fred Carlin-Dory Previn song \"Come Saturday Morning\" was nominated for an Oscar as was Miss Minnelli's stellar performance.","brand":"OLIVE FILMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47091525091568,"sku":"0887090043304","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0887090043304_p0.jpg?v=1763894138","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0887090043304","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
