"John Knowles' classing coming-of-age novel becomes an extraordinarily moving film experience directed by Oscar nominee Peter Yates (1979 Best Director, Breaking Away; 1983 Best Director, 'The Dresser') and featuring Hume Cronyn (Cocoon). As World War II rages overseas, the prestigious Devon prep school holds a summer session for boys trying to graduate before they're drafted. Among the students are two unlikely new roommates: Gene (J. Barton), a quiet, introspective bookworm; and Finny (Toby Moore), a carefree and wildly popular athlete. Charmed by Finny, Gene joins him for a series of exciting escapades. But when Gene's grades decline, he suspects that Finny secretly wants him to fail. Fueled by anger and envy, Gene and Finny's relationship reaches a breaking point - exploding in a stunning dramatic moment that changes their lives forever...and leads each to an understanding of the power and meaning of friendship."--Container.
