Patty Bergen is a teenager in a Jewish family living in the American South during World War II. Patty feels like an outcast even in her own family and is unable to understand why her father can't seem to love her. Her town eventually becomes host to a prisoner of war camp. A young german soldier escapes from this camp, and Patty finds him hiding in her secret places in the woods outside of town. After getting to know him she ends up harboring him from his captors, and, in the way of many adolescents, falls in love with him. Patty knows what she is risking to help him, but in his company she feels important, special, and respected as she has never been. In the end, his regard lifts her self-esteem and helps her to face the heartbreaking events to come.

| User ReviewGordon TA buddy of mine loves this . . . so it must be good. |
| User ReviewKristy (a.k.a. Pippen)This was my absolute favorite movie growing up! I love it still; so special, so great, so touching. |
| User ReviewKristy PI absolutely LOVE this movie, one of my all time favorites EVER...it's so sweet, so sad, so heartbreaking, so GREAT. I know it's old, but give it a chance people!! Bruce Davison is awesome in this role...this is the youngest I've ever seen him, and he nailed this part of an escaped German POW. Awesome movie. Just simply AWESOME!! See it if you haven't. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI love this story, of a Jewish girl who falls for a German prisoner of war. Its pulls you in and makes you forget everything else, as you live their story. Fantastic film. |
| User ReviewDarryl Cthis sypnosis leaves out an important part of the plot. patty bergen, as played beautifully by kristy mcnichol, is jewish. esther rolle, in an emmy award-winning performance, is stellar as the film's moral center. it would be nice if one of the retro channels would show these tv films, especially the good ones like this. or even the silly ones like the abc afterschool specials. because films like the ones john hughes made were not my 70s and 80s experience. summer was. |
| User ReviewJo Yinteresting adaptation of the book. Haven't seen it in so may years. |
