Il principe di Central Park

I thought the first description given was very nice, but that's the wrong movie, because this movie is about a boy who runs away from his foster mother, because she's abusive and ends up living in Central Park where he goes through the "Journey to Manhood." He's also trying to find his mother. He's helped along the way by his social worker, a lady who wants him as her son, because he reminds her of her dead son, and "the guardian."

I watched it aged around 7 years old. A year or two after this was made. Absolutely superb. Thinking kids entertainment.

I watched a lot of TV as a kid, this one, I still remember so vividly. An absolutely magical afternoon sat on my own, watching this on a black and white TV.

I've often considered watching it again as a middle-aged father, but maybe you can't go back.

I am so pleased to be able to finally track this title down by searching 'keywords' on this site I have been trying to locate this for many years now. I have fond memories of this as being one of the first films I watched on television almost 40 years ago. It inspired many happy dreams for me when my family life was not always so great and wished that I too could escape and hide away from the world. I hope to now find a copy of this film so that I can revisit my childhood dreams and I hope my own children will also appreciate this beautiful story even though all aspects of their upbring and family life has been completely different to mine. Truly lovely story that I would recommend to all.

In 1977 I was 8 years old. I saw this movie on TV, I am assuming somewhere around that time. The story was so touching to me as a child that now that I am 37 I want to find it and show it to my kids. I could remember the children and the tree house and how they would keep themselves hidden. I think all children at one time or another can relate to that and dream of running off to be on there own free from rules and discipline. This movie also shows how much we rely on and need each other. Surprisingly, I have remembered the title all this time from only seeing it once. I am definitely on a quest to find a copy of this movie. Don't miss a chance to see this wonderful movie. I have to say anything that makes that solid of a memory must be worth watching.

Super movie. Well acted, nicely paced. On of my favourite movies of all time.
