Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Actress/filmmaker Barbara Loden both directs and stars in the stark little character study Wanda. She plays a girl from a remote mining town, timidly searching for security and love in the big city. After several desultory and abusive relationships, Wanda is "saved" by Dennis (Michael Higgins), who turns out to be a petty crook. Stylistically, Wanda is spare, lean, and understated -- on every level. Loden originally shot the film on 16 mm, then blew it up to 35 for arthouse showings. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
Originally produced as a motion picture in 1970.
Cinematography and editing, Nicholas T. Proferes.
Barbara Loden, Michael Higgins, Jerome Thier, Jack Ford.
"Wanda is a maladjusted, troubled woman who leaves her husband with whom she readily agrees to leave the children. She attaches herself to a small-time thief because he at least seems to need her a little. The thief finds her a useful accomplice and plans a bank robbery. It fails, he is shot, and Wanda is alone again"--Film Index International.
