If you don’t know the tale of Burt and Linda Pugach, then you’re out of the loop on one of the biggest running tabloid stories in New York City history.
Burt Pugach was a married and wealthy New York attorney when he fell head-over-heels in love with one very lovely but disinterested Linda, a 20 year-old Bronx girl.
Jealousy brought out the worst in Burt.
Linda suffered the consequences of his wrath.
The pain of love and hate comes full circle in this fascinating documentary by Dan Klores (“Ring of Fire: The Emile Griffith Story”).
Shocker from start to finish.
You will squirm.
Rated PG-13. 93 mins.
