Heartwarming Story of Adolescents Who Get A Lesson in Life and Politics !
cshep26 April 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Soup(Christian Berrigan) is running for Class President, and Rob(Shane Sinutko) , Soup's best friend, is his political manager. Ahh that is the cut of the jib,Rob's girl friend, Norma Jean Bissel(Annrae Walterhouse) is also running for Class President, and he must choose where his loyalties lie .This is the last appearance for Florida Friebus, Mother to the Dobie Gillis' show. A delightful actress who is very talented, but often overlooked . Great for homespun types, with a wicked sense of humor and understatement. Truly missed .

Frank Cady as Mr. Sutter and Jim Bailey also star.

So, Soup and Rob campaigns tactics shall we say run the gamut,dirty politics at such a young age, but do they work ? Very well done ABC Weekend Special, with lessons to learn at many levels. Ethics , behavior, politics, and Love . A very enjoyable time to spend with your young ones on a rainy Sat. afternoon. If You can find a copy , it is well worth watching . I rate it a 10 for honesty and sentimental values, that you develop, when you were growing up . A Right of Passage .
