i be so move by this film in 1981 and i go back to the theater four time to see it again . something i have never do for another film . no movie evoke the feeling of grow up in the 60 like four friend . that it so closely approximated my own experience in the 60 be probably something that many will share . jodi thelen be radiantly beautiful and unforgetable . why she do not become a major star after this i will never know . the acting by the entire cast be flawless a be steve tisch script . i always want to know how much of the story be autobiographical . but ala and steve be no longer here to answer that question . i have all but wear out my vhs copy of this great movie . highly recommended .
