My Sweet Charlie

I was roughly 11 when this movie hit the TV, it was a clean direct to the point first time view of what life was really like in regards to race from that time period. It was a classic eye opener, and yes what a heart warming story, I would love to see it again. I was not even sure who starred in it until I finally started punching in movie names with Charlie in it and found it on this site. Sadly I think only my generation could appreciate such a movie back then, this generation would turn it off. Seeing these comments on this movie reminds me that I grew up at the very best time anyone could, the 60's and 70's. Thank you

I remember this movie from my childhood going back 30 years ago and out of all the movies I have seen since then, this is one I have wished to see again for a very long time. Unfortunately they don't them like this anymore. A movie that has a lasting impression on a 9 year old and strong enough to last through the decades. Congratulations to IMDb for giving people like me a forum and avenue to look up these great old movies and rekindle some of the magic of destroyers and making it so easy to track these movie titles down from 30 years ago by simply typing in an actors name.

THREE CHEERS TO IMDb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The chemistry between Patty Duke and Al Freeman Jr. is merely fascinating. Freeman was primarily a stage actor who got all too few chances on film. He was given his best role here, and makes quite an unforgettable impact. Duke is totally believable in her naivete and her ability, to learn, albeit slowly, even in the face of bleak desperation. Ford Rainey is unforgettable in a small role.

I remember this from my Childhood here in England. Its a film that makes you cry at the end. I don't mind admitting it. I have searching for this film for 30 years (* The title of it) And it was only yesterday that a a person who uses this website helped me find the film's title.

That person is - ladyboss1717 - (*That's her code name!!!). I wish to thank that person in helping me find a classic, classic movie that could easily be made into a blockbuster - (She helped me on the 1st Nov, 2005 - to find this film). Its got that "Green Mile, Captain Courageous and Shawshank Redemption" vibe about it. Its that good. Trust me!

Basicially its about - A pregnant white Southern girl and a black New York lawyer, both on the run in rural Texas, meet up in a boarded-up, abandoned house and realize they both need each other in order to survive. THey eventually would you believe it fall in Love.

You need to see the story to see what I mean about "Eventually fall in Love"...

Its another tear jerkier!! If anyone who works in Hollywood. Please, please serioulsy consider re-making this film. But do it properly!! Treat with care!! This is a classic....
