It reached into the most primitive parts of me -- the part that longs for the intensity of childhood hatreds and loves, and the desire to be a part of a family.

Jan Maxwell was wonderful but looked marooned on a sad set with a bunch of "actors." Unfortunately, it seems that Melly Still never saw young guys horsing around. I don't ever remember jumping on my friends' backs and rolling around on the ground, giggling the whole time.
