On this day, December 6, 1985, Robert Altman’s Fool for Love premiered in theaters. Based on Sam Shepard’s Pulitzer-nominated play, the film stars Shepard himself alongside Kim Basinger, Randy Quaid, and Harry Dean Stanton in a tense exploration of love, betrayal, and family secrets.

Set in a desolate motel in the American Southwest, Fool for Love delves into the complexities of human relationships and raw emotion. While the film had a modest budget of $2 million, it only grossed $900,000 at the box office, though it earned critical praise for its performances and direction.
