Chilly Scenes of Winter [Head Over Heels]

Joan Micklin Silver (director, screenwriter)
Ann Beattie (novel)
John Heard, Peter Riegert, Mark Metcalf (starring)

Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1979. Collection of seven vintage studio still photographs from the 1979 film. Based on the 1976 novel by Ann Beattie. Photographs have been hand-retouched, adhered to a backing board, and prepared for use in advertising.

A stark portrait depicting the difficulty of life in the aftermath of the turbulent 1960s. The protagonist Charlie (played by John Heard) falls in love with the newly-separated Laura (played by Mary Beth Hurt) who then returns to her husband, while Charlie simultaneously attempts to deal with the various members of his family. Charlie cannot seem to let go of his obsession, and begins to stalk Laura in an attempt to win her back. Shot on location in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Released in 1979 as "Head Over Heels" as seen here, it was re-released in 1982 and given a markedly more downbeat ending, to a better audience reception.

Photos 8 x 10 inches on 10 x 15 inch mat board with now-toned tissue overlay, save one mat board with two 7 x 5 inch images. Very Good plus to Near Fine.
