By turns hilarious and heartbreaking coming of age story set during WWII, based on the book by Herman Raucher. The scene in the drugstore is a masterpiece. Ms. O'Neill is unforgettable
2025 movie #59. 1960. Reynolds, Curtis, Rickles. Sounds like a romantic comedy. But it's a drama. Curtis is a struggling musician and Reynolds is a struggling dancer trying to make it in NYC. He's the eternal optimist and she's all beaten down by the big city. Good performances.
2025 movie #162. 1957. Natalie Wood headlines here but the movie is really about master maintenance Air Force sgt. (Malden) worrying about the new B-52s coming to his base and his 40-yo CO (Zimbalist) dating his 19-yo daughter. Mainly a recruiting film for the Air Force. Star Trek score: 1. Marsha Hunt played Anne Jameson in Star Trek TNG (1.15) the wife of an aging Starfleet admiral in 1988.
A film starring Sam Waterson, Tess Harper and Reese Witherspoon (MGM, 1991).

A 14-year-old girl meets a boy.

C (Indifferent).

I gave up after 30 minutes. In that time, there hadn't been a single scene that I hadn't already seen a dozen times.
