A few months ago, Dad and I happened upon a screen biography of Natalie Wood. It was quite interesting, with lots of great clips from her films.

So we got it on NetFlix and watched it Monday night. Dad agreed with me that it was a really great movie. I had seen it 2 or 3 times over the years - though it is 48 years old, it's as "current" as ever. I consider it a well-wrought film, and of course a young Warren Beatty adds to the charm!!
The title comes from lines in Wordsworth's Ode on Intimations of Immortality, and was originally a story by William Inge - who also wrote Picnic and The Dark at the Top of the Stairs.
I'd recommend it to you!!
