Bromdens tale focuses mainly on the antics of the rebellious Randle Patrick McMurphy, who faked insanity to serve his sentence for battery and gambling in the hospital rather than at a prison work farm. The head administrative nurse, Nurse Ratched, rules the ward with absolute authority and little medical oversight. ** ** Louise Fletcher won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched in the film. ** Nurse Ratched was named the fifth-greatest villain in film history (and second-greatest villainess, behind only the Wicked Witch of the West of The Wizard of Oz) by the American Film Institute in their series 100 Years. 100 Heroes & Villains. ** Netflix and Ryan Murphy produced a prequel 2020 TV Series titled Ratched which follows Sarah Paulson as a younger version of Nurse Ratched. >>> Creasing to covers; pen to front end pages; staining to top edge of book.
