This was Margot Kidder's first film, and though I saw over 30 years ago I still remember it quite well for the fine performances, solid directing, and the compelling story of poverty and coming of age in rural Ontario in the 60s. Worth watching if you, by some miracle, ever run across a copy of it. Also look for Kate Reid and Chris Wiggins in career-shaping roles. Won a GENIE (Canadian Oscar) for Best Film in 1969.
