Plot
Sally Field stars as Denise "Dennie" Miller, a teenage girl who returns to her parents' suburban home after having run away previously, and returning a year later having lived with hippies. Lane Bradbury plays her younger sister Susie, who also is following in her footsteps, wanting the idealistic hippie life but making some rash decisions in the process. David Carradine plays Dennie's boyfriend, and he comes back to try to win her back. Linda Ronstadt is heard on several of the songs used in the film. The film is a period piece showcasing the family struggles often facing two generations in the late 1960s and early 1970s. [1][2]
