"The Impossible Years" (1968) 98 minutes (widescreen) -- Starring David Niven, Lola Albright, Chad Everett, Ozzie Nelson, and Christina Ferrare. Featuring Darlene Carr, John Harding, Michael McGreevey, Rich Chalet, Don Beddoe, and Jeff Cooper. Music by Don Costa, The Tokens, and The Cowsills. Directed by Michael Gordon. Produced by Lawrence Weingarten.
PLOT: Jonathan Kingsley (David Niven) is a teaching psychiatrist at the local university and is happily married to his wife, Alice (Lola Albright). The couple has two teenage daughters, and the trouble begins when the oldest daughter, Linda (Christina Ferrare), begins to take an adult interest in boys. Her misadventures corrupt her impressionable younger sister, and may cost her father his job. Kingsley tries to stop his daughter's lustful yearnings before the reputations of the university and his family become fodder for the local gossip mongers.
INFO: "The Impossible Years" is a peppy & comedic statement piece about changing family values and "normal" parent/child clashes, all played out against the backdrop of the tumultuous (and often wacky) 1960s.
The title track is sung by the family group, The Cowsills. The Cowsills were the inspiration for TV's "The Partridge Family."
Christina Ferrare, who plays the rebellious daughter, married carmaker John DeLorean in 1974. The pair divorced in 1985 after an FBI sting nabbed DeLorean for cocaine trafficking. (DeLorean was tried and acquitted, having successfully argued that he had been entrapped by the FBI.)

this is STILL one of my favorite movies (I am pushing 50 years old) ... so when you remember a movie for all those years...thats saying something - right? GREAT MOVIE .. why don't they show this on network/broadcast TV I wonder?
Christina Ferrare is gorgeous in this film. Written by Groucho Marx's son; filmed in part at Occidental College. Nice flick. I recall when it came out.
The best thing about this movie, besides being a time capsule of the period, is the terrific title song sung by The Cowsills. It was released on the B side of one of their singles. I think it was good enough for the A side-should have been a hit.
mac: Same here. In those days, you got the Christmas show and the movie ! I remember waiting on line outside RCMH in the cold for hours to get in. But it was definitely worth it.
