A great yet little known film
I saw this film when it first came out. I was 12 and was totally moved by the amazing performances of the cast especially: Sondra Locke in a terrific debut performance, Chuck McCann, famous locally in the NYC area to all kids as for his terrific comedic skills as a host of 2 WPIX children shows and of course Alan Arkin, who at the time was very popular and well-respected for the breadth and diverisity of each role he would take on. But this is his absolute best. The film was very well received, but like Arkin's rep, their popularity faded over time. It's been great to see more of Mr. Arkin over the years. But his talents have never been used as well as they were during the mid and late 1960's. This is a man that is as good as any actor that has ever been on film.
