a dream experience

This film is like several, barely remembered snippets of dreams. I saw this film many years ago, yet the visual images stay with me. It is a simple, plotless story about two extremely ordinary people, yet you come to care about them. This film is about as far from Hollywood as you can get. Wonderful direction- another one of John Korty's jewels. A true treasure for those who don't need to be knocked out- but who want to think and feel something real.

Memorable Film

I was just looking at a book about quilts, ran into the term 'crazy quilt', and for the umpteenth time, recalled seeing this film some four decades ago. I've also read the book, "The Illusionless Man" by Allen Wheelis, upon which it was based. I would very much like to view it again, to see "how it holds up". One theme that I got out of it was the danger of being overly analytical, yet wanting to have fun, live in the moment. One image that definitely remains (if significantly morphed over time) is the house--what a joint that is, or was. An intriguing factoid is Korty's alleged political stance (waay to the right). I'm wondering how this may have been expressed in this early work. As other reviewers have stated, this film left a large if blurry mark on my psyche as well.... Let's get to see it!

masterpiece

This is a truly extraordinary film. To see this movie is to live a lifetime in 72 minutes.

Like Citizen Kane intensified, but different, more real.

At all costs, if you are a movie buff, see this film

Short poignant film about the shaky marriage of romanticism and cynicism

A short poignant movie about the marriage of an incurable romantic and a cynical realist, their lives together, their children, and their troubles and triumphs (she likes to sail boats with handsome lovers; he is a termite inspector). Even though I saw this only once over thirty seven years ago at a small art house, and is completely unavailable in any format as far as I can tell, it has never left my imagination. Narrated by Burgess Meredith, it is (as all good movies are) both funny and tragic. Although not a great or major movie, it is too precious to be lost to time. Someone needs to preserve it so others can share in its magic.

A unique, creative artifact from the '60s

Get this picture out on DVD!!!!! Given its short length, perhaps a double-feature with one of John Korty's other early films would be an interesting package.

Anyone know who owns the rights to Crazy Quilt these days?
