Butterflies Are Free (1972)
Member Rating:  
Leonard Gershe based his play Butterflies are Free on a real-life blind attorney. The film version stars Edward Albert as Don Baker, a self-reliant, sightless young man who becomes the object of affection for kooky Jill (Goldie Hawn). Spending most of the film in nothing but her underwear, Jill makes love to Don, then tries to help him break free from the smothering influence of his mother, a children's-story writer (Eileen Heckart). The situation grows tense when Jill's boyfriend (Paul Michael Glaser) enters the scene. Eileen Heckart won an Academy Award for her performance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

    great performances oneof the few films that worked as a play being filmed--not filmic at all, but it worked sappy w/ all the song repeats--but overall a real feel good movie Eileen Heckart is great--ARNOLD & HAWN are beautiful just to look at...
