New York, 1957: A self-important lawyer, Burt Pugach, falls for a beautiful young woman named Linda Riss. He keeps her on a string, dazzling her with nightclubs, lies, and flattery, rather than divorce his wife. When Linda decides to leave Burt for good, he retaliates in a permanent and despicable way. Incredibly, their relationship has really just begun. Penetrating interviews draw you in to a narrative of obsession; evocative old footage summons a mood that illuminates the bizarre story.  NK
