Synopsis
A boy yearns to fly in
Robert Altman
's whimsical youthquake parable. With the aid of seraphic Louise (
Sally Kellerman
), owlish Brewster (
Bud Cort
) constructs a pair of human-size wings in his Houston Astrodome nest to realize his dream. Meanwhile, conservative creeps, including a witchy "Star-Spangled Banner"-belting crone (
Margaret Hamilton
) and Brewster's skinflint boss (
Stacy Keach
), keep turning up dead covered with bird droppings; the Houston Establishment calls in blue-eyed, turtleneck-wearing "San Francisco super cop" Frank Shaft (
Michael Murphy
) to investigate. Brewster cooks his own goose, however, when he defies Louise's edict against sex and hooks up with Astrodome usher Suzanne (
Shelley Duvall
) after she impresses him (and saves him) by out-driving Shaft in her Road Runner. Despite her apparent sweetness, Suzanne ultimately will not compromise her comfortable home for flight with Brewster. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide
