Bruce Pritchard (Malcolm McDowell) is a young, active man - until he finds himself struck down by a crippling disease and confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He is taken to a home for the disabled, but his bitterness and his dislike of rules and regulations only serve to make him angry and withdrawn. But he finds meaning in life once more when he falls in love with Jill (Nanette Newman), a polio victim. Happy, halcyon days follow for them both - but tragedy hasn't finished with their lives yet... Nominated for Best English-Language Foreign Film and Best Original Song at the **Golden Globes.** Nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the **BAFTA Awards.** *"...a subdued but authentically moving view of unusual but real people and a real love story." - A.H. Weiler, **The New York Times***
