    Wonderful film!
    After purchasing my first VCR, this is one of the first films I rented.

    Being in High School, at the time...I suppose it had an impression on me.

    This movie is fantastic with Mandy, Glenn, and...of course the unforgettable Ruth Gordon.

    Since the advent of DVD...I have been hoping for it's release. I relish the day.

    Out of all the who know how many movies I've seen...this is one that touched me and counts as one of the greatest. I especially love "Bye, Bye, Blackbird". This was sung by Glenn, herself as "Maxie"
