Back in the sixties they were introduced to each other by Pauline Kael, producer Marcia Nasatir ( Ironweed , Hamburger Hill and the upcoming Descending from Heaven with Sam Shepard) and screenwriter Lorenzo Semple, Jr ( Pretty Poison , Three Days of the Condor , Never Say Never Again ).

And remember: Car-free Is carefree.
