Yes, parts of this movie are, as one of the reviewers said, a little cheesy. But the dialogue is so strangely real and true to life that you feel like you become best friends with the characters. The situation that arises feels as if it is happening to you. The movie has a lesson to teach, although medical technology has advanced a great deal since the film was made. This movie is definately all about sex and not for the innocent. It was originally a t.v. movie appropriately called, "The Loss of Her Innocence." Although the movie may have had its faults, I feel like I cannot give it any less than five stars, since its impact is so great. My boyfriend, the big tough guy, was even battling tears at the end. The characters in this film make it worth the watching, acted out spectacularly by four young actors who could have gone on to great things, but preferred to stay in the undertow.

I actually saw this movie on late-night TV. Some parts could have been done better, but the characterization was actually quite good. Some of the dialogue was quite funny, especially between Besty Slade and Pamela Sue Martin. All in all, this film had the right mix of coming-of-age comedy and drama.

I first discovered this film when CBS aired it in 1980 as "Death of Her Innocence" in prime time. I've always been a fan of Pamela Sue Martin, one of the most prettiest girls of the 1970s. At the time I already owned a VCR and I recorded it. I was awestruck by the cinematography and I loved the film score. So much, in fact, that I called Warner Bros in Burbank and asked if there was a soundtrack available. And so I watched the film repeatedly as a 19 year old that year. I could never get enough of it.

Thirty years later it has finally made its debut on DVD and even though as a DVD-R from Warner Bros Archives, I am still very pleased with the transfer and very happy to own it. The picture quality is superb.

This film hasn't gotten much airplay on television since 1980, not even presented on TCM. But if you're familiar with the TV broadcast version, you'll no doubt be shocked at the language that was cut from the film. I actually prefer the "G-rated" version but it's a likable story with great characters.

In watching the film after so many years I can't help but appreciate the late Debralee Scott's performance each and every time she has a moment on the screen. Someone deserves special credit for adding her to the cast.

Nora Heflin, most famous for her role in "Born Innocent" is among the featured girl students at Pendleton. Karen Balkin, from "The Children's Hour" is also one of the students featured.

The DVD is a bit pricey but you never know when it might go out of print and then you're hunting it down a few years later and paying triple for it. I would definitely recommend getting it.

I'm a little confused by some other reviews claiming this was originally a made-for-TV movie. It was not. My mother and I watched this on the big screen when it was originally released in 1974. We both wept at the end, which we were not expecting. We still enjoyed the movie, though. I don't really remember a lot of foul language, either.

I saw this film long before I knew Pamela Sue Martin or Parker Stevenson. Stationed in Germany at the time, I saw a lot of movies (for 50 cents), and this one showed up when weekday evening. I had no idea what to expect, and had no expectations. Needless to say, for this airborne Ranger, the ending of the film left me quite emotionally compromised. A great film (when I was 19). I stumbled upon it in 1980 when it showed up on TV as "Death of Her Innocence" but this time I watched because it stared Pamela Sue Martin and Parker Stevenson - both popular because of Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys (and I'm sure why they released the film with a new name). I didn't recognize the film until Muffy's appearance - when a lot of emotion came roaring back. I would say that's a mighty good lasting impression. I'm looking forward to watching for a third time with my 19 and 21 year old daughters.

It was a great film, for its genre. SCreaming re make with a more modern edge. It was one of the first films that i actually bought for my collection.

This is a really good movie and Im glad WB archives are getting some rare movies on dvd.
Pamela Sue Martin does a good job as always and Debralee Scott has a small role in this movie.

Pamela Sue Martin was so pretty then. I hope this movie be re-mastered in DVD format as soon as possible.

Very happy with the DVD. Great condition, received quickly. I have been very happy with everything ordered off of Amazon.com I will continue to order for myself and as gifts.
