Divorced. Whitelaw Reid, 46, onetime (1947-55) editor of the New York Herald Tribune; by Joan Brandon, 29, whose mother, Dorothy Brandon, was a Washington-bureau staff member of the Herald Tribune; after eleven years of marriage, two children; in Reno...
...scenes of awakening love that Director-Co-Writer Philip Dunne manages to capture the pains and confusion of adolescence and the awful homemade isolation of children from their parents. He is fortunate to have as the children plaintive, pony-tailed Carol Lynley, 17. and blond, handsome 17-year-old Brandon de Wilde, who has acquired longer legs and a deeper voice since he played the small boy in Shane.

...triumphs of the show belongs to Charles Saari, the only excellent child actor since Brandon De Wilde. Despite rare roughness and lapses out of context, his intense performance of Sonny is outstanding. He pouts, squawks, broods, lunges, and captures the audience. Timmy Everett, playing the well-written role of the older young man who kills himself between the acts, is equally excellent...
