Una bambina difficile

Hi. I saw this when I was around 8 years old ,and it has always stuck with me. I love touching movies. I just wanted to let anyone interested in purchasing it. I just purchased a copy at only classic movies dot com for $23.95. Cloris Leachman was wonderful and Lee Remick ,and Richard Crenna are wonderful actors too. Cloris just really stood out to me when I was that age. This movie just made me cry. Something that is a rarity in movies this day and time. Susan Deer was just a little doll,and I still remember those sad haunted eyes. I have often wondered what happened to her. I know Lee and Richard are dead now. Just a wonderful movie for anyone wanting their heartstrings pulled. I can't wait until my copy arrives. Please let me know if you get yours.

hi my father was in A Girl Named Sooner and his copy of the movie was ruined it would be a great help if you could tell me where i would be able to obtain a copy for him it would be a great help for him and me i have looked every where i have called all the places that sale movies and none of them have heard of the movie let alone have it in stock and the only place that i know of that could order old movies just went out of business so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows where i can get this movie cause i have never seen the movie and would love to see my father when he was younger and to see the movie and people he thinks so highly of so if any one could tell me where i could get a copy it would be greatly appreciated

thanks for your time Jenni

I saw this movie back in the 70's, and like the other reviewer, I will never forget the scene where Sooner wants to be accepted by the other girls. For years I have thought of this movie, and particularly that scene, and even wished I never saw it, because the scene haunted me! Yet it was so beautifully done! It is a heartbreaking, yet terribly understandable, scene. I continually check the TV guide to see if it is on again. I'm surprised that it has not shown up in the video stores, or on IMDb. Cloris Leachman is amazing, as is the little girl. I read that the girl never made another movie. I wonder why..... I would love to find this movie on DVD. I will never forget this movie. I'd like to see it again. I hope others who have seen the movie will advocate for a DVD!

I have to echo the statements of *almost* everybody else. This movie will STICK WITH YOU. It's VERY haunting but I have to wonder... do I really want to feel haunted?? It's not pleasant! Seriously, it was a weird movie. So weird it drew me here to the internet almost 30 yrs later to look it up cause it was WEIRD and scary. I remember being COMPLETELY tormented by my wanting to watch it but being repulsed by the depressing aspects.

The bird scene is devastating. I don't really remember much of anything else in the movie but I know there were some happier parts. While I do have a "thing" for having my children experience some of my own childhood memories I've Disneyland, etc.. I don't know if reliving A Girl Named Sooner is something I want to burden them with! Just like I was torn when I watched it so many years ago, I'm torn now wondering if I should share it with somebody else!

I am from Switzerland County where this movie was filmed. Sooner lived with the old woman on a hill in a small town called Bennington. The Hill was called Schuel Hill. Bennington was around six miles from Vevay. That is where Sooner lived with the married couple who had no children. The school that Sooner attended in the movie is called the old gym and is still used today for basketball games and carnivals. My sister in law was an extra in this film. She was a little girl on the playground. It is wonderful to watch a movie and to be familiar with the surroundings. This is a very touching film. You will laugh and cry while watching it.
