"The tale itself is so spectacularly perverse, and the film stays so authentically close to the personalities involved, that you don't feel dirty -- you feel cleansed."
- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"All told, Crazy Love is a rarity in documentaries; it's fun."
- Mark Bell, FILM THREAT

"The real life story of beauty and the beast"
- Miami Herald

 

Dan Klores' Crazy Love tells the astonishing story of the obsessive, roller-coaster relationship of Burt and Linda Pugach, which shocked the nation during the summer of 1959. Burt, a 32 year-old married attorney, and Linda, a beautiful, single 20 year-old girl living in the Bronx, had a whirlwind romance.  It culminated in a violent and psychologically complex set of actions that landed the pair's saga on the cover of endless newspapers and magazines. With the cooperation of the principals, Burt, now 79, and Linda, 68, Klores examines the human psyche and the concepts of love, obsession, insanity, hope and forgiveness.
