- GoofsWhen the TV is delivered, it comes on without warming up. It also was able to pick up a station without any type of external antenna attached. There were only a handful of TV stations in Louisiana in the 50's and none would have come in so clear out on a rural farm.
- Quotes
Tiger Ann Parker: I wish I could turn back the clock and change things. I'd forget about Abby Lynn's swimming party and about Jesse Wade kissing me. I'd help Granny more. I'd watch her real careful and make sure she wasn't ever, ever sick with her heart.
Featured review
Adam Arkin directs this thought provoking drama set in rural Louisiana in the early 1950's. So much can happen to a young girl in just one summer. A 12 year old girl(Kelsey Keel) has been forced to come to grips with the fact her parents are developmentally disabled. The family is held together by the girl's grandmother(Shirley Knight). Rich Aunt Dorie(Juliette Lewis)comes home to try and ease the family's woes.
Tender and quite touching. Well worth watching.
