Film Critic Reed

Sex Goddess Raquel Welch was at the height of her big-screen fame when she starred as Myra in this offbeat cult favorite - considered one of the most notorious films ever released by a major studio. Adapted from the bestselling novel by Gore Vidal (who later denounced the film), it starred an oddball ensemble of legendary old-time Hollywood stars (Mae West, John Huston) and promising newcomers (Farrah Fawcett and Tom Selleck) and featured film critic and non-actor Rex Reed in a pivotal leading role. Using breakthrough quick-cutting film techniques, and an offbeat storytelling style, this bizarre tale of a beautiful transsexual-bisexual's quest for revenge and sexual liberation has to be seen to be believed.

Perhaps the most powerful picture ever made about the shattering aftermath of the Vietnam War, "Coming Home" earned eight Academy Award nominations and three Oscars: Best Actress (Jane Fonda), Best Actor (Jon Voight) and Best Screenplay. Hailed by critics as "dazzling" (Rex Reed), "gripping" (Leonard Maltin) and "unforgettable" (Judith Crist), it is a heart-rending examination of a critical period in our nation's history and "an uncompromising, extraordinarily moving film" (Roger Ebert). When Marine Captain Bob Hyde (Bruce Dern) leaves for Vietnam, his wife, Sally (Fonda), volunteers at a local hospital. There she meets Luke Martin (Voight) a former sergeant whose war injury has left him a paraplegic. Embittered with rage and filled with frustration, Luke finds new hope and confidence through his growing intimacy with Sally. The relationship also transforms Sally's feelings about life, love and the horrors of war. And when, wounded and disillusioned, Sally's husband returns home, all three must grapple with the full impact of a brutal, distant war that has changed their lives forever.
