I first saw this movie when I was a child, maybe ten years old. It's strange how a small film, not a blockbuster, will stay in your mind through the years. Over a period of time, I've looked at it again, and I love it just as much as I did as a kid in a dark Florida theater all those years ago. There is a deep message about human understanding in the rather light script. There is also courage, fear, true concern about another human being that shows through. It's more than you would expect for a film of this genre. Unforgettable.
