''David and Lisa'' is a 1962 American drama film directed by Frank Perry. It is based on the second story in the novel ''Jordi, Lisa and David'' by Theodore Isaac Rubin; the screenplay, written by Frank Perry's wife Eleanor Rosenfeld, tells the story of a bright young man suffering from a mental illness which, among other symptoms, has instilled a fear of being touched in him. This lands him in a residential treatment center, where he meets Lisa, a similarly ill young woman who displays a split personality. The film earned Perry a nomination for the 1963 Academy Award for Directing and one for Eleanor Perry for her Screenplay. ==Plot== The film starts as David Clemens (Keir Dullea) is brought to a residential treatment center by his apparently caring mother. He becomes very upset when one of the inmates brushes his hand, as he believes touches can kill him. Cold and distant, he mainly concentrates on his studies, especially that of clocks, which he appears to be obsessed with. We later learn that he has a recurring dream in which he murders people by means of a giant clock. He meets Lisa Brandt (Janet Margolin), a girl who has two personalities: one of them, Lisa, can only speak in rhymes, while the other, Muriel, cannot speak, but only write. David befriends her by talking to her in rhymes. Following an argument with his mother when she comes to visit him, his parents decide he should leave the place. After staying at their house for a short time, David runs away and goes back to the residential treatment center, where he is allowed to stay. He has a small argument with Lisa, who turns on the metronome while another resident is trying to concentrate playing a Bach piece on the piano, causing Lisa, who's jealous whenever David spends time talking to anybody else, to run away, and she takes the train to Center City, Philadelphia, unnoticed by anyone. In the final scene, David, who realizes she would go back to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, in which she had embraced a statue before, finds her. Lisa appears to be cured and doesn't need to rhyme anymore, and David allows her to hold his hand on the way back. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David and Lisa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
