  • Heartwarming Love Story

    When I was a little girl, I lived down the street from Lynn-Holly Johnson. All of the little girls in the neighborhood wanted to be her. This was a big favorite with my friends and me. I bought the movie for the memories. I thought it would be one of those movies you like as a kid and not as an adult. I was wrong. The caliber of the actors in the film makes the movie viewable today. The ending still gets me...
  • LOVED IT!!

    I watched it in 1979. It has the climax ending all those 70s movies were good for, like "and justice for all" and "Officer and a gentleman" which I miss in todays movies.
