      • One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is brilliant cinema theatre. Jack Nicholson stars in an outstanding characterization of asylum anti-hero McMurphy, and Milos Forman's direction of a superbly-cast film is equally meritorious.

        The film is adapted from Ken Kesey's novel, the 1963 Broadway legit version of which, by Dale Wasserman, starred Kirk Douglas. Kirk's son, Michael, was the producer of the film and Kirk originally wanted to revisit the character of McMurphy for the movie. Thankfully, his son said no and Nicholson got the nod.

        The $3 million film traces the havoc wrecked in Louise Fletcher's zombie-run mental ward when Nicholson (either an illness faker or a free spirit) displays a kind of leadership which neither Fletcher nor the system can handle.

        The major supporting players emerge with authority: Brad Dourif (in a part played on Broadway by the ghastly Gene Wilder), the acne-marked stutterer whose immature sexual fantasies are clarified on the night of Nicholson's aborted escape; Sidney Lassick, a petulant auntie; Will Sampson, the not-so-dumb Indian with whom Nicholson effects a strong rapport; and William Redfield, the over-intelligent inmate.

        The film's pacing is relieved by a group escape and fishing boat heist, right out of Mack Sennett, and some stabs at basketball in which Nicholson stations the tall Indian for telling effect. This in turn make the shock therapy sequences awesomely potent.
