Anyone reading my comments must first understand that I grew up in the 1960s, when Richard Chamberlain was wildly popular in his TV series 'Doctor Kildaire', and Yvette Mimieux ('Time Machine') was one of this terminally cute young actresses. Still, I only saw this movie recently on TV. To me I can only recommend it for those who are fans of Chamberlain, Mimieux, or both.
There is nothing novel about the story. Richard Chamberlain is Carl Brown, treasured son and talented enough to be attending a prestigious school, studying law. All is well until he meets Annie (Yvette Mimieux ). They fall in love. They get married, all without the blessing of traditional Irish parents. Carl's dad is played by Arthur Kennedy. But they appear to be in love. Following a familiar story line Carl's parents all but dis-own him, refuse to pay any more of his college expenses, he and Annie have it hard, it puts a strain on their relationship. But, in the end all is reconciled.
