Alice Bloom:
It would be just the three of us, like that night.
Sheryl O'Connor:
Stop, stop it, Allie, you've got it all so twisted up! Ordering me around like I'm some goddamned princess! Wearing my perfume and listening to my records? I'm just this girl that lived across the street from you and I don't now!

I really enjoy this movie two of my favorite actors are in this movie and a very young not yet known Eliza Dushku makes her debut in this movie. I have to say I was very impress with her acting in this film. As always C. Thomas Howell to me gives a great performance and no matter what movie she plays in I watch. Juliette Lewis is one of the most underrated actress I think to date. She always make it seems like the script was written for her. As always I am never disappointed in her performance. To whom of those whom read the book One Summer Night I think you would fine the screen version to your liking. If you are into oldies but goodies then this movie is for you it takes you back to your teenage rebel years in the 50s' and if you weren't born in the 50s' it make you wish you were coming up in that era.
