The Man in the Moon

The Man in the Moon

Oscar nominees Sam Waterson and Tess Harper, and veteran actress Gail Strickland (Norma Ray) join three talented newcomers in this "deeply moving film" (Los Angeles Times) about coming of age and sexual discovery in rural, 1950's Louisiana. Brilliantly directed by Robert Mulligan (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Summer of '42), The Man in the Moon is a poignant and bittersweet tale Roger Ebert calls "a wonderful movie...a victory...a meticulously prepared masterpiece."

Synopsis: In this romantic drama set in a small town in the 1950s, a 14-year-old girl has a crush on an older boy and is heartbroken when he falls for her older sister.
