Filmbrain's Screen Capture Quiz: Round 13, Week 2

There is something very Altman-esque about last week's screen capture, which would explain why the single most submitted answer was California Split. However, one year prior to Altman's masterpiece (and starring the same lead actor), Paul Mazursky gave us the fascinating but troubling Blume in Love. The actor pictured is über-character actor Ed Peck, best known for his tough-guy cameos on sitcoms such as The Odd Couple, Happy Days, Benson, etc. Blume in Love was one of those films that often played on HBO back in their early days. As a young teen it seemed so adult to me, and I always felt that it was wrong for me to be watching it. (Though I did, many times.) Viewing it now as an adult, I honestly don't know what to make of its "happy" ending, which basically begins with a rape. Sheesh. The sexual revolution was quite a schizophrenic period, was it not? This week: much easier, I think. In what peculiar film will you find this apparently cold actress? Submit your answers to this address. Good luck!

Yes, a range rape-oriented period: Clockwork Orange, Soldier Blue, Straw Dogs, Yoko Ono's Rape

And it even had its own version of "torture porn" with A Man Called Horse!
