I'm a pretty cold-hearted and insensitive person, broadly. This, however, makes me break down and cry like a man-baby. There's something about Legrand's music, combined with that voice-over. It's intensely, intensely moving. Manipulative as hell, but damn does it get to me...

Some sequels are best never produced.

I agree about this song. This song is so deep that get us all. Legrand´s song touch our souls, it is what this song does.

I was a teenager when this movie came out, so long ago. I remember it well, especially since the Vietnam War was underway. This was my "Summer of '42". If you want to learn more about the truth behind this movie, do some online database searching.

I saw the sequel a few years later in college- it didn't have the impact of the original, but I'd love to see it again.

@ohger1 Drama queen or not Ohio German person 1- I am still alive-

And that Nany State was holding a Vietnam war draft over my young head at the time, and did so for a namber of years. A great great many of us thought at the end that war that the gung ho sheisen was over- but ohhhh NOOOOO! After provoking more of its own brand of "solution" it plagues us again. Every thing I said happened. This time the drama is real again, mein dumbkoff. Life was different then, it is more psychotic now, kids.

@harponercam LOL! Man, you are one righteous drama queen. Try blaming yourself for your crappy life for a change. Only you can improve your lot, not a nanny state...

The movie script came first, then the book, both by Herman Raucher. The real tragedy lies in it being a true story; autobiographical.  Hermie being the name of the protagonist is no coincidence, and there was a real Dorothy, and a real note left for him by her.

@sirmontyrock Agree totally. The whole thing was wrong on her part. Herme looks about 12 years old for gosh sakes!
