Parents worry about their daughter when she freaks out on drugs and is hospitalized. Arthur (
Eli Wallach) and Gerri (
Julie Harris) face the reality when Maxie (
Deborah Winters) must remain at the facility or return home. Della (
Rue McClanahan) is Arthur's straight shooting secretary and mistress who offers an objective opinion of the situation. Dr. Salazar (
Nehemiah Persoff) is the concerned physician treating Maxie. David (
Hal Holbrook) and Tina (
Cloris Leachman) are the neighbors whose son Sandy (Don Scardino) turns out to be a juvenile drug dealer. The story was taken from an award winning 1968 television special but fails to live up to the promise of the initial production. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
