This was definitely a great movie and worth watching. Usually I'm never too crazy about remake, but this adaptation stood beautifully almost as close to the original one. Loved the performances from all the actors and the setting was pretty good. Especially from Melissa Gilbert as Deanie & Cyril O'Reilly as Bud. Melissa Gilbert performance blew me away, but its nothing new b/c she's great in any role.
Luckily I got to watch this movie online. Since they haven't played this movie in years. I first heard it through my Mother who told me that she once saw it on the Romance Channel & loved it. Too bad they never repeated it. This movie is worth watching and doesn't let you down. I do admit that I still prefer the original 1961 version with Natalie Wood & Warren Beatty, but the remake doesn't let you down.
