Review by Firegal (posted on 25-Feb-2008)

I have waited almost 40 years to see this MOST MOVING FILM again. I had watched it in high school, they had taken us to the auditorium once and awhile and we saw what were considered highly regarded literary stories made into films. I never forgot this film. It didn't even seem dated to me when I watched it today, Feb. 25, 2008. Sandra Locke has obviously not had the best career the rest of her life, but she was up for an acadamy award for her part in this movie, and I think she should have won it. I think the thing that draws me most to the story is it doesn't preach, or give answers about life, it just shows us the inside lives of those around us and the things we don't know about them. You may not like this movie, but I think you owe yourself the treat of watching it, because I believe you will thouroughly enjoy the story, and the actors. Alan Arkan also did a fabulous job as a deaf mute. His relationship to Sandra's character is so superficial on one hand, and yet we find so deeply intertwined at the end.
