Me, Natalie (1969)
A lost Classic!

I watched a film print from my collection of this coming of age story last night for the first time in years and came away feeling somber, yet inspired at the same time. Patty Duke is remarkable as Natalie and she does indeed have a transformation of character. Natalie metamorphosis's before our eyes from an "ugly duckling" to a beauty by the film's end. The change has nothing to do with makeup, but everything to due with Duke's power as an actress. All of the performances are stellar. I like Henry Mancini's melancholy score. It is difficult to fathom why this inspirational film is unavailable to the public in any format including cable and satellite television. Many could relate to this story and find the movie helpful.
