    Such a great but bittersweet movie
    I remember watching them film Eric here in Port Orchard, Washington as a kid. It was so exciting to us all. After watching the movie I cried for days because we didn't know anything about the story and I was really touched by it. Great acting especially by John Savage. I think it's Claud Akins' best work! Love this movie and urge all to watch.
