I'm simply one of her biggest fans since the beginning of her career when she played the daughter of a wealthy man from small town America who plays with the bad kid from the other side of the tracks, all to get back at her father. So, this movie is rather ironic as the story of a well to do family from eastern suburbia. With parents who doted their daughter with everything she could ever want. But, who stutters apparently because of being ashamed of who she was. A story about the dilemma of well-meaning parents who don't know what to do with a troubled child. A child who grows up in the turbulent 1960s who thinks she change force the change that is needed with violent protest. It's amazing that the very same messed up society then is still very much in existence today. The only thing that has changed in the 60 years is that the government has learned how to suppress descent. In ways that avoid the violent anti-white picket fence Americana that still exists.
A protest movie, a family angst play, parental grief and offspring despair. This is a rather good story of middle class life in the 1960s.
