A love story ... no less than a love triangle. Michael Apted directed. Damn good run he had: 21 Up, Agatha, Coal Miner's Daughter, Gorky Park, 28 Up. And that was just eight years out of more than 45.
Dian Fossey loves this big ape, see? And he works for National Geographic magazine, and is already married. So she's SOL there.
But, she is in love with a local ape. She acts submissive with the natives for survival purposes, but she knows she doesn't need to put on that sort of show for her own kind. So, she doesn't. The big ape soon realizes his fate. Both of them, that is.
A freebie commercial-free Friday night flick on KCTS, with the bad words blanked out. C'mon Congress -- we're all adults here! Also, KCTS unfailingly presents their Friday night movies in 16x9 widescreen. I love that. Except when the original film is in some other aspect ratio, like, say, 1.85:1. You thought we didn't notice?
"Her death remains a mystery." Really, it says that in the end credits. Which I guess is credit-speak for: "Her murder remains unsolved."
Rest in peace, Dian.
