One of the few bona fide counter-cultural films to be produced by a major studio, The Swimmer is a sun-scorched and surreal suburban satire that boasts a fine performance from Burt Lancaster (Castle Keep, Buffalo Bill and the Indians) as Ned Merrill, the all-American man who one day determines to swim home to his Connecticut mansion via a series of pools in his neighbourhood.



Directed by Frank Perry (Diary of a Mad Housewife) imbues Eleanor Perrys (David and Lisa, Ladybug Ladybug) adaptation of John Cheevers short story with stunning expressionistic flourishes, creating a true masterpiece of cinema.andquot;
