Audience Member where can i get a copy of this movie shortdoggo@yahoo.com Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Acclaimed TV drama that was revolutionary for it's time. The performances are beautifully realized, this and Me, Natalie are the films that saved Patty Duke's career after Valley of the Dolls nearly ended it. Bittersweet story is very moving and might not even be able to be made in these politically correct times. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
