First Love

There’s nothing quite like first love. Veteran TV director Joan Darling’s (M*A*S*H, Taxi) feature film debut captures the warmth, the pangs and the excitement all young lovers experience the “first time.” Caroline (Susan Dey, TV’s The Partridge Family, L.A. Law) is every young man’s dream of what a first love should be. Elgin (William Katt, Carrie, The Unwanted) is the Everyman of the seventies, exemplifying confusion and passion that any college student can relate to. The beautifully photographed love scenes are handled maturely and tastefully; it is rare to find a film that portrays love so refreshingly and honestly. Co-starring John Heard (Cutter’s Way), Beverly D’Angelo (Paternity), Robert Loggia (Prizzi’s Honor) and Swoosie Kurtz (Dangerous Liaisons). (1977)
