Looking for Movie Title from 60s or 70s Sci Fi.?!


Question: What I remember about it is that a woman from an Utopian society is left outside of the city and bears a child. This child grows up like the barbarians but is fair skined like the utopians. He is taken back to the city and sees alot of weird stuff that bothers him. The dead is flushed down tubes. Everyone is a test tube baby genetically engineered for specific castes. Some look normal and are the common people. Some look pale with dark eyes and they are the laborers. Some have bushy hair and are the doctors. that is pretty much all I remember.

Brave New World (1980 TV miniseries)
starring Kristoffer Tabori as John Savage, Bud Cort, Reb Brown, Julie Cobb, Keir Dullea, Beatrice Colen, Valerie Curtin, Aron Kincaid, Ron O'Neal, Tricia O'Neil, Victoria Racimo, Marcia Strassman
IMDB synopsis **SPOILERS**
n a future society based on pleasure without moral worries, love is prohibited but casual sex, now called "engaging", is strongly encouraged. Everyone is kept happy with a legal drug, Soma. People are hatched and cloned on conveyor belts to meet the requirements of five different social classes, from ruling Alphas to robot-like Epsilons. Bernard Marx is a different Alpha male with an inclination to thinking. He and a girl called Lenina Disney go visit a reservation of "savages", where they meet a handsome young man named John and bring him back to "civilization". John turns out to be the son of the director of the cloning authority, which causes a scandal and makes John a celebrity freak. John falls in love with Lenina, but his desire is ruined by his antiquated sexual morale derived from reading the works of William Shakespeare. John hates the over-social but anti-emotional civilization, asks to be sent to live in isolation, and gets a job as a lighthouse guard. But even there, he can't forget Lenina or escape his celebrity status.

This was a major TV event back then. Later, it was remade, but that didn't cause the same stir as this very impressive and ambitious production did. Being a Kristoffer Tabori fan from "Truman Capote's The Glass House" (TV movie), I was thrilled to see him in a major role.

This is from the IMDB review forum:
This was originally produced as a two-part miniseries, running four hours including commercials. But, at the last minute, NBC chopped it down to fit into a 3-hour time slot. Allowing for commercials, this means that more than half an hour was removed. When it was later aired on the BBC in England, it ran in its original full-length, two-part form.
There are many collectors offering copies of this movie via the IMDb message boards or eBay. Before buying, I suggest you ask which version they have.

wow that sounds like a great movie, if you find out let me know. otherwise type in cult movies, art house movies or science fiction movies into google it may help. I too am looking for a strange movie about a man and woman who have a baby and it is like an alien and they spend most of their time in bed - strange. I thought it may be by guy maddin as he is a very strange movie producer. you might like to check out guy maddins movie credits - your movie sounds like something he may write.
