Robert Duvall is outstanding as Charley Parks, a misunderstood man who still lives at home with his doting mother, though his sister tries without success to find him a date. One day, Charley finds himself in a different part of his favorite museum where he finds a doll house that fascinates him, as it appears to him that a beautiful doll(played by Claire Griswold) is alive, but being courted by a man who turns out to be a cad, forcing Charley to defend her by smashing him through the glass. This gets Charley put in an asylum, but he manages to fool his doctor(played by William Windom) and makes one last attempt to join that miniature world with his living doll... Wonderful fantasy has Duvall's exquisite turn as a man who would today be put on the autistic spectrum, which is most inspirational for those with that condition. Today as well, Charley could sue that intolerant boss of his(played by Barney Philips) who fired him with discrimination!
