This is the first movie I ever went to see alone at the tender age of 8. It played the Paramount Theater in my hometown of Syracuse, NY. I went over the Easter holiday with money I had received from an uncle. I was so mesmerized by it I sat through it at least six times until my mother came down the aisle @ 9 at night calling for me. My lifelong love of the movies began here and so the picture holds a special place for me. That said, I watched this again recently, and despite its out of date science and themes, it still holds up because of the many solid performances and the sincerity behind its production. I was also amazed to see a very young Sally Field as one of the beatniks in the line up. Still great fun.
