The heart wants what it wants

Woody Allen uttered that uber-creepy line in defending his relationship with then-squeeze Mia Farrow's adopted daughter Soon-Yi. Ben Stiller repeated it, to chilling effect, in the surprise box office dud "The Heartbreak Kid."

The phrase came to mind while watching "Crazy Love," a new documentary out on DVD this week. "Crazy" follows the real tale of Burt and Linda Pugach, a couple who met, fell in love and then separated when he ordered thugs to throw lye on her face following a quarrel. They split up - incarceration makes staying together pretty tough - but when he left prison he renewed his courtship with Linda. And, after a while, she accepted his advances. Crazy, huh? Not as crazy as you might think, given the circumstances. Watch and see for yourself. Warning -- the first half hour is pokey, and it comes off as just your ordinary gossip tale. But it gets better, much better, soon thereafter. (Photo: Those "Crazy" lovebirds, Linda and Burt Pugach)
