Love Story -- Harvard Law student/hockey jock (Oliver Barrett IV) meets Radcliffe music wonk (Jennifer Cavalleri), and the couple soon enter into a relationship.

In "The Tombs," Manhattan's Men's House of Detention, the criminal fraternities - blacks, Puerto Ricans and a minority of whites - develop their own caste system and codes. When a white man, Clark Davis, accused of child molestation - a "short eyes" in prison parlance - arrives at the prison he becomes a catalyst for the anger and violence that erupts amongst the inmates.

Suspense-master Willam Golman (Marathon Man) wrote the novel from which this bizarre black comedy was adapted. It's the extraordinary account of a plumber who kills a dowdy matron, a priest who kills a dowdy matron, and a policeman who kills a dowdy matron. Actually they're all the same man, a psychotic master of disguise brilliantly played by versatile Rod Steiger. The killer also gets his kicks phoning in clues to detective George Segal. All of New York trembles as a sixth strangling is reported in the papers. And the man with the makeup kit stalks another victim... the detective's girlfriend (Lee Remick). A suspenseful, macabre game of cat and mouse.

Based on the play by Miguel Pinero, SHORT EYES is adapted by the author for the screen. In "The Tombs," Manhattan's Men's House of Detention, the criminal fraternities - blacks, Puerto Ricans and a minority of whites - develop their own caste system and codes. When a white man, Clark Davis, accused of child molestation - a "short eyes" in prison parlance - arrives at the prison he becomes a catalyst for the anger and violence that erupts amongst the deadly inmates.
