This film is based on
a novel by Madeleine L’Engle and it covers a three week period in November 1950. Rose and Rafferty Dickinson are the
parents of 15-year-old Camilla.
They live in New York City and they try to shelter Camilla from the world. Her best friend is Luisa Rowan
and they live completely different lives at home. Maybe this is why they get along so well until Camilla
starts to date Luisa’s brother Frank.
Luisa begins to hate Camilla because she feels she has lost Camilla to
Frank. Everything changes for
Camilla when her parents decide to live in Italy for the winter and they want
Camilla to go to the same finishing school where Rose was very happy. Rose and Camilla are two different
people and Camilla persuades her parents to send her to school to study
astronomy. She would like astronomy to be her career. Things also change for Frank when his
parents divorce and he goes to live with his father in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The reality is that
Luisa and Camilla are still best friends but Camilla spends time with
Frank. Everyone is changing in a
short amount of time in this film.
The two different sets of parents and the teenagers too. I enjoyed the period details of the
apartment furnishings, clothing and hairstyles. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
