Tall Story - Tall Story - DVD

Jane Fonda wants a man she can look up to: A basketball player. In her debut movie, Fonda plays a college coed with a clear-cut goal: convince all-American hoopster Anthony Perkins that a bachelor's degree doesn't mean unmarried! From the moment the future two-time Academy Award winner* spins her bicycle across campus (and headlong into two professors) to the romantic fadeout, it's clear she possesses that quality called star power. Footlight legend and longtime Fonda family friend Joshua Logan directed this frisky farce. The polished supporting cast includes the always engaging Ray Walston, Anne Jackson and Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Marc Connelly (recreating his Tony-nominated Broadway turn). Fonda has grown into an extraordinarily tall Hollywood legend. And it all started with her in Tall Story. * Best Actress for Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978).
