Released in 1970, Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon starred Liza Minnelli as Junie, a young woman scarred both physically and emotionally who builds an unlikely chosen family with two outsiders: a gay paraplegic (Ken Howard) and a gentle epileptic (Robert Moore). Directed by Otto Preminger, the film was a strange mix of heartfelt sincerity, camp, and countercultural idealism—a misfit tale ahead of its time. Though a critical oddity on release, the movie has since earned a cult following, treasured by Liza fans and those who see beauty in flawed, offbeat portraits of love and friendship.
