*********** SPOILER ALERT ***********
This was a well-acted portrayal of teen heartache and heartbreak.
The lyrics of the theme song by Bobbie Gentry allegedly had some basis in truth.

I had the good fortune of being an extra in this movie, and I went to school with Bobbie Gentry's two sisters, knew her grandparents and have met Bobbie on more than one occasion.
