All I can say is watch this film, and if you don't have some jaw-dropping moments of self-realization and heartbreak at how this film so accurately portrays deep friendship, abiding love, elite intelligence, and the struggle for self-reinforcing confidence, well..... then you must be braindead......
I have always truly believed that the Oscars should have a "we missed this the first time around" Oscar to award to films that TRULY TRULY stand the test of time and show so clearly in later years that this film, these actresses, the screenplay... they ALL deserved Oscars.... and Hart Bochner.... well..... I'm 60 years old now.... but I remember like it was yesterday what my first reaction was to seeing him on screen..... I said to myself, "That is the most beautiful boy I have ever seen....." And he still is .... in that (thank God) perfectly and forever pristine celluloid format..... :-) This film deserves to be seen, appreciated, and praised :-) :-) :-)
