This play is definitely worth watching and reading. I loved the story, plot & setting. When I first saw the movie recently on TCM I thought it was a sweet heart-touching movie. Afterwards I found out it was based on a play and decided to read it. I loved it as I loved the movie.
The story is based on Don Baker whose a blind young man who is a confident, and intellect young man that is trying out his independence by living on his own for the first time without his over protective mother. They try this experiment out for two months. I admit that I couldn't blame Mrs. Baker for worrying about her only son. Well he meets his new neighbor Jill that moved next door to him. Jill is a 19 year old free spirited hippy is trying to be an actress. Jill is a sweet girl, but still every young & naive in heart and mind. Also she feel that she isn't ready for serious commitments. Don & Jill start speaking, getting friendly and more.
Goldie Hawn, Eileen Heckart & Edward Albert brought to life these characters so beautifully and so much passion and heart. Eileen Heckart won the Oscar for best supporting role of Mrs. Baker(Don's Mom). In which it was well deserved. I would recommend anyone to watch this movie or read the play.
