About this item
Katherine [Slim Case] Actors: Sissy Spacek, Henry Winkler, Art Carney, Jane Wyatt, Julie Kavner Format: Full Screen, Color, NTSC Language: English Review snippets: This movie is constantly referred to as a fictionalized version of the story of Patty Hearst. Far from it. It is a fictionalized biopic of Diana Oughton, an early member/leader of the Weather Underground. It is pretty well made for a 70s TV movie, and, with the exception of the end, is fairly accurate. Many of the events depicted in the film are taken directly from Diana's life. It is well worth seeing for anyone interested in the Weathermen or simply the radical student movements of the 60s and 70s. Sissy Spacek was already well on the road to a significant big screen career in 1975 when she opted to do this TV movie loosely based on the life of Weatherwoman Diana Oughton. Spacek has always shown a leaning toward socially conscious films, so it's no surprise that she was intrigued by the socio-political angle as well as the dramatic possibilities of this script (penned by Jeremy Paul Kagan, whose directorial and writing credits also show a socially conscious bent). As a portrait of a revolutionary, KATHERINE is pretty much paint-by-numbers. Passionate, well meaning and socially conscious rich girl Katherine Alman gets caught up in the spirit of the times. At first she's a non-violent undergraduate activist, volunteering to teach inner city teens basic literacy. Upon graduation, she heads off to South America, despite her parents objections, and witnesses firsthand the oppressiveness of the oligarchical regimes there. Back in this country, she takes a job as an instructor at an alternative school in the Deep South, where she is further radicalized by the Fonz, I mean, Henry Winkler as a more radically inclined teacher there.
