Kristy McNichol gives a good if uneven performance as a crippled flautist--working her way through a series of romantic losers here at home--who travels to a French ski-resort and gets a bright idea: she replaces her cumbersome leg-brace with a cast and finds guys wanting her sexually for the first time. Bumpy romantic comedy begins well, but is really two different pictures, with Kristy's musician going from shyly seductive girl to mercurial, exasperating kid. There are some savvy moments, but mostly in the quietly charming first hour. Once in France, where McNichol hooks up with incredibly patient photographer Michael Ontkean, the filmmakers get too silly, replacing the satiric wit with cheap, blurry sentiment and a pointless discotheque sequence that goes on...and on. **1/2 from ****
OK, I have posted a review for this film in the past, but I just love this film sooooooooooo much. Kristy MacNichol is so terrific and so appealing in this film and the rest of the cast is well perfectly casted. This film really tugs at your heart strings. Like the scene where she is able to ski for the first time, talk about uplifting. And when her character experiences pain, you feel it to because one can't but help to get involved into her journey of self discovery. This is also very well directed with lots of pretty scenery and the music score is just perfect for this film. Every time I see this movie it just gets better every time. Go out and rent this film right away. It is a very underrated classic.
In New York City, Susan Berlanger (Kristy McNichol) is a concert flutist with a lame leg. Gay investment banker and friend Frank Bantam (Tim Daly) had proposed a marriage of convenience and moving them to Texas. Her best friend Lisa Elliott is a dancer. Jack is her telephone answering service and wants a date despite never met her. Sam Carpenter asks for a date with Lisa but falls for Susan instead. Somehow, her bum leg always get in the way. While on an European tour, she convinces a doctor to put a leg cast on her and goes to a ski resort pretending to have a leg injury. Photographer Peter Nichols (Michael Ontkean) is taken with her convinced that she's hiding a secret.
This movie is split in two. For the first part, the movie introduces three romantic possibilities for Susan. That's plenty enough to last a whole rom-com movie. She has a best friend. The whole movie is set up but it's really only a set up to introduce the premise. The premise could have been introduced with fewer characters and a shorter time. In fact, Ontkean is introduced after over forty minutes and he's the romantic partner. That's halfway into the movie. It's too late and his meet cute is inferior to both Jack and Sam. There is a cheesy music montage and that's fun. I do like the second half. I just wish that it gets there quicker.

A crippled musican with a leg brace takes a trip to France with her leg in a cast to see what people will treat her like when they don't know she is handicapped. A very appealing film and Kristy MacNichol has never been so likeable. An underrated classic. One of my favorite films of all time. Enjoy 9 out of 10.
This movie is about a flutist that has a lame leg. She wants to see if people would treat her differently if they didn't know she was handicapped. So she talks a French doctor into putting a cast on her leg. She does and decides to go into the Mountains to a ski Resort. She finds love, friendship and finds life. Great movie I like Kristy in this movie. The music keeps you into the movie. I still watch it every time I see it on. Something to watch when it is cold outside and want something to watch that makes you laugh. Romance and comedy mixed well. Enjoy!!!

- WissenswertesFilming was delayed for a full year after Kristy McNichol developed a chemical imbalance (also reported as an emotional breakdown) and could not continue filming. She recovered in just two weeks, but the snowy second half of the film required waiting until next winter to shoot it.
