Shirley MacLaine's contribution to mysticism
- Thread starter Ivan Seeking
- Start date
In summary, there is a book and movie titled "Out On A Limb" by Shirley MacLaine, which someone remembers. The conversation discusses the sincerity of MacLaine's beliefs and a discrepancy between the book and movie regarding a scene where she drives without steering. The person has not read the book and is interested in others' opinions on MacLaine's experiences.

out on a limb
I read the book and recently bought the movie. I'm convinced she is sincere. However, there is one thing that puzzles me...the scene where David finds her and drives without steering wasn't in the book. Where did that come from?

Hi Kathy
I was surprised to see this thread pop up. I thought maybe I was the only one who remembered this. I remember being quite shocked by all of this when it first came out. I couldn't believe that the things I heard coming out of her mouth, were coming from her mouth.
I never read the book. Your comment is interesting since the "driving" scene was one of the only ones that implied tangible evidence for the events described. You think she was [is] sincere; do you think that she perceived things correctly? Do you think she might have been fooled?
