Hawn, funny and touching, is a delight throughout and Heckart gets a film role that enables her to display versatility. Full Review

Leonard Gershe's Broadway comedy recycled as a movie with the density of Jell-o. Full Review

A perfect example of schmaltz so cunningly and attractively created that it will move even the stoniest soul. Full Review

Rating: 2.5/5 -- Although the emotional conflicts are a bit too neatly settled at the story's conclusion, Albert, Hawn, and Heckart make it all seem believable. Full Review
TV Guide

A piece of (barely) stage-adapted nonsense, scripted by Leonard Gershe from his own play, about blind-boy-meets-emotionally-immature girl and how his mum brings them together. With some funny lines from Goldie Hawn and little else. Full Review

Product Description:

Young Don Baker (Edward Albert) is blind. In the San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district at the beginning of the 1970s, he makes the considerable move toward independence by moving away from his mother (Eileen Heckart) and into his own place. Incidentally, he finds himself falling for Jill (Goldie Hawn), the kooky, free spirited actress in the apartment next door. Don must then convince his mother that Jill is good for him. Leonard Gershe's adapted this film version from his own Broadway play of the same name. Heckart won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her work in the film.
