I have no idea what the movie is, but is that Miss Tessbacher (?) from Superman?

It's the same actress (Valerie Perrine)

Hmm. In that case, I'm going to take a stab in the dark...Slaughterhouse Five?

Slaughterhouse Five is mainstream. The bloody book has been on English Lit syllabi almost since it was written and the film has been doing the rounds for 30 years.

It's a very lovely film. But not mainstream as the world would understand it...

It won the Jury Prize at Cannes and was nominated for the Palme d'Or and it won a Golden Globe. It was an adaptation of a best selling novel and got a full theatrical release by Universal. What aspect of mainstream am I missing here?

Anything that wins the Jury Prize at Cannes is, by definition, not mainstream. By mainstream, I think I mean that people went to see it.

I'm with you on this - definitely mainstream.

maybe the English Lit syllabi thirty years ago on Planet Zog...

well that is approximately when and where I last studied English Lit

I would have thought it was a Modern American Lit class ... ;-)

I think it may have referred to language rather than nationality. After all I wouldn't want to claim Hemingway or Joyce as English.

I thought I was completely LJ-obsessed, but I didn't see your quiz until now...

(Competitive? Moi?)

And LOVED Slaughterhouse Five (I'm old enough to have seen it in a cinema...)

It's really good. I've watched it on DVD quite a few times.

Funnily enough, I thought it was Michelle Dotrice...
