Author: kenandraf from Honolulu,Hawaii

Average drama about middle class teen ager concerns featuring the great Elizabeth Taylor as a sickly but special High School girl.Nothing spectacular.One to be realy enjoyed by Taylor's biggest fans though.Could have been better with higher quality screenplay/script and music......
