McMurphy is a
charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental
institution rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He
clashes with the head nurse, a fierce artinet. Quickly, he takes over
the yard and accomplishes what the medical profession has been unable to
do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and dumb Indian talk. He
leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see
the world series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party
with liquor and chippies. For one offense, the head nurse has him submit
to shock treatment. The party is too horrid for her and she forces him
to submit to a final correction a frontal lobotomy. |
