In 1950, my mom worked on Sundays, so my dad took me to Sunday night movies, most of which were “grown-up” movies. I was 7 when I saw “A Place in the Sun” and I’m still intoxicated with almost every frame. I think I stand as an example of a child being impacted, but not scarred, by seeing mature films with so-called adult themes and appreciating them. Of course there were many others I saw at that age. I’m sorry that “A Place in the Sun” and “Rebel Without A Cause” and “Dr. Zhivago” slipped from the list. And what of “Darling,” “Room at the Top,” “Last Tango in Paris,” “Two For the Road,” “Summer and Smoke” and “The Shoot Horses Don’t They” to name just a very, very few of my favorites?
