wanderwild

1972. Sex, drugs…and ballet? In this Shakespeare-inspired comedy, Bronx-born ballet dancer, Rudy Critoni, is fired from his company after ruffling a few too many tutus. Nobody wants a 40-year-old ballet dancer, except maybe the Army—for another tour of Vietnam.  Rudy’s wary ex-girlfriend arranges one last chance: a summer job teaching dance at the freewheeling Vermont hippie college where she is a faculty member. But the sexual revolution is going strong at Wanderwild and if Rudy succumbs, he’ll go too.
