'''''David and Lisa''''' is a 1962 American [[Drama (film and television)|drama film]] directed by [[Frank Perry]].  It is based on the second story in the two-in-one novellas ''Jordi/Lisa and David'' by [[Theodore Isaac Rubin]]; the screenplay, written by Frank Perry's wife [[Eleanor Perry]] (née Rosenfeld), tells the story of a bright young man suffering from a [[mental illness]] which, among other symptoms, has instilled in him a [[Haphephobia|fear of being touched]]. This lands him in a residential treatment center, where he meets Lisa, a similarly ill young woman who displays a [[split personality]].

The film earned Frank Perry a nomination for the [[35th Academy Awards|1963]] [[Academy Award for Best Director]] and one for Eleanor Perry for her [[Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay|screenplay]].

The film was later adapted into a stage play in 1967 and a [[Television film|made-for-television film]] in 1998.
