Glynnis O'Connor gives a very fine performance as a small town young woman involved in a mercurial romance with an erratic young man; tragedy ensues. The screenplay was based on the evocative 1967 song by Bobbie Gentry, and for the first hour anyway it has some appeal. Director Max Baer tries for a "Splendor in the Grass" look and narrative, but the story takes some uncomfortable turns that, viewed today, are laughably clichéd (if not downright offensive). O'Connor re-teams with her 1973 "Jeremy" co-star Robby Benson, and they match up well on-screen together; O'Connor's family is highly amusing while into the new inventions like in-door plumbing, but everyone here is at the mercy of the hoary, disappointing script. ** from ****
