I too love this movie. It takes me back to my teenage years when I could sit in the theatre and watch the movie over and over again without having to pay extra! I loved Connie Stevens and Troy Donahue! But I can't watch this movie anymore because it is never shown in Australia and it is not available on video. I hope someday it will be!

I also really loved this movie and used to watch it almost every year when I was a young girl. Of course, now it is never shown, and I echo everyone else's sentiments about desiring to purchase the movie if it is ever released on VHS or DVD. I especially would like to see it now that I am an adult, as I am curious if it would affect me the same as it did when I was a child. I remember it was so dramatic and so heartwrenching...particularly the hospital scene at the end of the movie...also the scene when her father has the heart attack. Does anyone know how we could get this movie?? rkyobo

I have seen this movie everytime it runs on tv. it is one of the great 60's movies like parrish and rome adventure and a summer place. loved them all but I would like to purchase this in vhs. could anyone help me out. It is a great movie. thank you cj

I saw this movie when it was first released. It was a "must see" because my cousin and I were such Troy Donahue fans. I felt it was wonderful and would like to see it again - often! However, it is never shown on television and I have been unable to get information regarding purchasing it either on VHS or DVD. Please help! Perhaps it is a bit soap operaish but who cares. It is the kind of thing girls loved in 1961 and now that we are older, we like to remember by watching the same movies we saw back when.

I love a heartwarming movie, and especially a tear-jerker with a happy ending. The old movies are really unique in their meanings and it is hard to find a good movie in today's times. I would love to know how to purchase this movie and other old ones that are not available in stores. Here's To Another Great Film that a lot of People growing up today will probably never have the opportunity to see!

I have loved this film from the time I saw it as a pre-teen in the late 60's. This is one of about half a dozen films that stayed with me through adulthood. I realize by todays standards this is fluff and possibly corny, but I love it none the less. I am so tired of all the sex, violence and profanity! It is so refreshing to see a film that deals with an unplanned pregnancy, but you didn't have to see the sex act to get the impact of this situation. I think anyone who loved A Summer Place, Parrish, Palm Springs Weekend or Rome Adventure will love this film too. I was lucky enough to get it on DVD, and I watch it every couple of weeks or whenever I need to be transported back to a kinder, gentler time. If you have the opportunity to see this film, don't miss it!!

A classic soaper, beautifully photographed by the late Lucien Ballard, and the absolutely lush musical score by the late Max Steiner elevates this movie to dizzying heights. Connie Stevens is perfectly cast as the the young naive girl falling in love for the first time. Unfortunately her beau is tragically killed before they can get married leaving her pregnant. Lloyd Nolan and Dorothy McGuire are perfectly cast as her understanding parents, as is faithful stable-boy Troy Donahue who pursues Connie until she finally give her heart to him. Very typical early 1960s mores abound. Watching this film now is very dated in fact in some parts even laughable; but that doesn't matter. This film is very underrated, and deserves to be on DVD along with the other Delmer Daves films of that era. It's hard to believe that the only actor alive from this film is Connie Stevens, everyone else has long since passed away.
