05/21/2016 where can i get a copy of this movie shortdoggo@yahoo.com See more 11/18/2010 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. See more Read all reviews
