One of the best movies of the 60's, don't miss it., 9 March 2002
9/10
Author: Larry Bourret from Napa CA

This is my favorite movie from the 1960's and there were a number of outstanding black and white films made during this period such as "The Balcony", "Children's Hour", "The Mark", and "The Pawnbroker". David and Lisa was a low budget film with outstanding acting. It's worth seeing.
