Storyline

Premarital sex, secrets, and society. At 17, shy Susan Slade is on her way to California after a ten-year stay at a remote Chilean mine where her father was chief engineer. Onboard ship, she's romanced by Conn White, a handsome mountain climber on his way to Alaska. Home in Monterey, Susan longs to hear from Conn. Two locals also take a shine to her - Hoyt Brecker, a horse wrangler who's the son of a criminal, and Wells Corbett, a sweet guy who lives in his high-society parents' shadow. Jump ahead two years, Susan has a desperate secret that her socially-conscious mother won't let her share. Can Susan find happiness - and what is it really that turns a girl into a woman?

A memorable film!!
17 September 2005 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

I have loved this film from the time I saw it as a pre-teen in the late 60's. This is one of about half a dozen films that stayed with me through adulthood. I realize by todays standards this is fluff and possibly corny, but I love it none the less. I am so tired of all the sex, violence and profanity! It is so refreshing to see a film that deals with an unplanned pregnancy, but you didn't have to see the sex act to get the impact of this situation. I think anyone who loved A Summer Place, Parrish, Palm Springs Weekend or Rome Adventure will love this film too. I was lucky enough to get it on DVD, and I watch it every couple of weeks or whenever I need to be transported back to a kinder, gentler time. If you have the opportunity to see this film, don't miss it!!
