They LORNA(MARTHA PLIMPTON)the daughter and DANNY (RIVER PHOENIX) enter into a relationship that will change their life,.(This is a masterful piece of the film ).. There is an appropriately haunting piano/ guitar score by TONY MOTTOLA, and this has made this a amazing magical film to watch over and over again,. RIVER PHOENIX may be best remembered by the film (STAND BY ME ).but i think this was his best ever acting film,. The film was released in 1988,and won an Oscar,. This in my view was a great piece of work by CHRITINE LAHTI and RIVER PHOENIX,. A great story for Teens and Adults...........................................Read full review
