David and Lisa by Frank Perry 1962


An early film with Kier Dullea - the guy from 2001 A Space Odyssey.

Janet Margolin is so beautiful in this film as Lisa. Unfortunately she never became the 'star' some folks expected her to become, but she was married and had a couple children and may have had a meaningful life regardless of 'stardom'. The sad thing is that she died at the age of 50 of ovarian cancer.

A story about two teens who meet in a mental health facility...very touching film. Their love for each other ultimately helps each of them to overcome serious problems.  This is quite a good film.
