Otto Preminger
Film director Otto Preminger, 1976.
The film Tell Me That You Love Me, Junie Moon (1970), directed by Otto Preminger, tells a fable centered on love and friendship among three individuals who meet while hospitalized.1
The story follows Junie Moon, played by Liza Minnelli, a young woman who has been disfigured by her boyfriend. While recovering in the hospital, she encounters other patients, and the group decides to move in together to support one another. Although the film was not a commercial success, it was noted for being an offbeat work that helped restore some critical respect for Preminger following a series of earlier failures.1
