    Worth Watching
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022*

Look, this movie was made in 1962.  It's a little dated.  However, it's heart is in the right place.  The movie touches on some of the key family dynamics and social issues that arise with mental illness, and Dullea's performance in particular will evoke that combination of frustration and love people often feel for their disturbed loved ones.  For those with an interest in film history, you will see the precursor of Ordinary People in many of the characters and situations depicted.  Now, I admit that part of my interest in this film was Janet Margolin, such a natural talent and beauty.  Honestly, I'd watch her flossing her teeth for 90 minutes.  But my own oddities aside, I think this movie is well worth the watch for all of the above reasons - and, er, Janet.

    excellent exploration
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2017*

I'm a sucker for coming-of-age, love stories, especially ones about troubled kids who are largely considered outcasts. This is a beautiful tale of a young man and young woman who meet at a home for teens with mental issues. David is wound up very tightly and reacts very negatively toward being touched. Lisa has two personalities (with two names) and often speaks only in rhymes. Both are mastefully portrayed by Keir Dullea (later of _2001_) and Janet Margolin.In the beginning, David meets Doctor Alan Swinford. He is a loving father-figure to the teens at the home, while he doesn't get emotionally involved in their lives. While this is movie isn't a comedy, Howard Da Silva does a great job playing the "sraight man." in contrast to the teens in his care. Da Silva was also coming off the Hollywood blacklist after about ten years, although he also was very active on the stage throughout his career. It was an excellent return to the screen for him.I've watched this movie multiple times and never get tired of it. The movie is in black and white, and that seems to add to the lure of it. Because I wasn't distracted by the visuals, I was able to feel the emotions of characters more.Mental illness was very much a taboo topic at the time, even more so for teens. This was a very groundbreaking and risky film for its time. The public responded well, as it grossed well over $4,000,000. That's outstanding considering it had a budget of less than $200,000.

    Spare & poignant beauty
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2005*

I hadn't seen this film in decades, and I wondered how well it would hold up now. I needn't have worried: it's still as lovely & touching as I remembered, with the same quiet power that moved me as a teenager. The performances are wonderful, with Keir Dullea's David struggling unsuccessfully to conceal his terror beneath a calm, self-assured, even arrogant facade; and Janet Margolin's glowing Lisa, her big dark eyes conveying fragility, yearning, loneliness & a glimmer of hope with astonishing depth. And the stark black & white photography allows us to glimpse their souls in a way color never could.As for complaints that the story "blames the parents," please note that Dr. Swinford (a warm & compassionate Howard DaSilva) explains to David that one day he'll understand that his parents also had parents, with their own fears, doubts & unconscious drives. The film doesn't "blame the parents," it merely points out that each person bears the psychological weight & demands of many generations, often unconsciously. This remains as true today as it was then. Psychological healing isn't about "blame," but about recognizing the source of our inner wounds & coming to terms with them within ourselves. Whatever the cause of those wounds, once we're aware of them, the responsibility of facing them is ours alone.And has psychology learned much more in the 40 years since this film was made? Of course! But that doesn't invalidate the film, both as an expression of a specific time & place, and as a metaphor for healing. No, it's not saying that love & compassion will magically overcome & solve all problems; but it is saying that they're absolutely essential for any hopes of creating a whole & meaningful life. The understanding & tentative union that David & Lisa find together is a beginning, not an end. Who knows what the future will bring? All they (and we) have is this moment, now, reaching out to one another in an often dark & frightening world. And that's a message which is never dated. Most highly recommended!
