I must have been 13. What an amazing thing the search engine/internet age is! I just punched in "movie about girl who runs away to live with hippies" and up pops "Maybe I'll come home in the Spring." 40 years have passed! I had forgotten it was Sally Fields and David Carradine, but I LOVED this movie as a child. At 12, I was already fighting with my mother about the length of my skirts, as much a product of the world around me, the 1960's, as I was a product of my family. At 13, the TV in my bedroom was, of course, being watched after lights out and I found this movie. I identified so much with Sally Fields, being shocked & repulsed when she learned to eat out of a trash can, as well as glorifying the free love and sex of the hippie culture. Can't wait to get my hands on this movie again!
