"The Sterile Cuckoo" went out on Double Bill with "True Grit" in 1970
Otherwise, I never would have seen "The Sterile Cuckoo."
But I wanted to see "True Grit" again(it had been a summer 1969 hit.)
Here was the deal:
Both True Grit and The Sterile Cuckoo were from Paramount in 1969.
1970 Oscar nominations for 1969 films saw John Wayne getting a Best Actor nomination for True Grit and Liza Minnelli getting a Best Actress nomination for The Sterile Cuckoo.
So...before the ceremony took place..Paramount sent this "odd couple" out to theaters together on a double bill: "Paramount's Oscar favorites."
As we know...Wayne won. Minnelli did not.
