Item description

Out Of Print (OOP) in all formats and no longer being manufactured, box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard plastic clamshell keepcase. All of the type is still intact and legible and the color still looks good too. The plastic window on the cover has a small scrunge hole over her eye (see photo). The cassette is nice and clean and has a foil security label on the right endcap assuring you of first generation quality. Pre-viewed for quality and it has one quick flip at about 5 minutes in, otherwise it played great. GLEN and RANDA highlights the innocent sense of wonder that has an equally significant element of American pop culture. The film follows the travails of Glen (Steven Curry) and Randa (Shelley Plimpton), two noble savages who wander about totally naked (full frontal which garnered the film an X rating) in their private garden of Eden. They live in a treehouse, a car that a tree has grown into and lifted up off the ground. At Glen's prompting, they go in search of civilization, a primitive, desperate odyssey by the last bewildered survivors of an atomic holocaust, stumbling through the wreckage of a vanished civilization. One of the highlights of the film is when they come upon an encampent of other survivors who they rest with until they resume their journey. A travelling magician (Gary Goodrow) comes to the camp to give a show. He even puts on a fireproof suit and ignites himself, but their is no applause from the dumbfounded, uneducated crowd. Later, when the magician is in his trailer trying to make it with Randa, Glen stays outside looking at maps. He found one of a place called Idaho, and some comic books about a lady named Wonder Woman who lives in a city called Metroplois that is all shiny and white and where people can fly. He asks the magician about it. "The city's far, far away, over the mountains," the magician tells him. "I was 15 when it was totalled. They were droppin' dead in the streets for years." "Take me to the city" Glen says. But the magician had other business, so just like Prince Valiant on a quest for the Holy Grail, Glen and Randa set out for the city. Using a rigorously unadorned style, director Jim McBride, who also co-wrote, conveys a sense of primitive desolation, transforming contemporay landscapes into primeval wastelands. They come upon an old man (Woodrow Chambliss) living in the ruins of a home by the sea and guardian of knowledge in the shape of artifacts from the past. Although the film is unsparing in its apocalyptic vision, its dour brutality is frequently alleviated by a cool eye for satire, as in the fishing scene in the begining or here, a lengthy sequence in which Glen sits, empty pipe in mouth, gazing at a broken-down television set because that is what leading a civilized life means. The result is a charming evocation of both innocence and the costs of Glen's quest for knowledge - Randa dies in childbirth because they've quit their Eden - as he, their newborn child, the old man and a goat set off in a small boat across the sea, still in search of Metropolis. This is a good looking print of a cult film to be sure that is also considered by critics to be a great sci-fi film.
