Update/ Edit 2017: This movie is viewable on You Tube.
Original review: Glad to see that there are some other fans of this little gem. I keep hoping that Mare Winningham's new-found popularity might get this one released on DVD, but I guess I'll have to visit the Museum of TV if I want to give in another look. I'm not sure how it will stand up after all these years, but I do remember that after seeing this movie a couple of times back in the early 80's, I never forgot it and I never forgot the music. Are any of the songs featured on any Janis Ian CD collections? This film was the true start of Mare Winningham's career, and some of the best work that Janis Ian ever did I'm sure. Kudos to director Joe Sargent. The entire cast does a fine job and my memory of this movie haunts me at times as the songs keep popping into my head after all of these years.
