Stars richard chamberlain, yvette mimieux, who also worked together in an episode of doctor kildare. This one is a period piece, in the 1920s. When the parents don't approve, carl and annie elope. But carl is still in college, so things won't be easy. Annie also has pcychological issues, resulting from an abusive relationship by her step father. Even the nosy neighbors try to come between them. So many challenges. A fun bit where the local grocer feeds (and handles) the squirrel population. Maybe i'm a worrier, but it seems like a good way to catch rabies or hantavirus. Or something. Much of the story is a downer. All that arguing. They use some rough terms to hint at a homosexual neighbor, but that was a sign of the times. Directed by alex segal. Novel by betty smith, who had several works turned into film. She also wrote a tree grows in brooklyn, which is also about bad family communication. Chamberlain is probably best known for the thornbirds mini series. He's currently still with us, but mimieux passed away in january 2022.
