Quotes
Dusty: So, are you satisfied, Mother Brown?
Mary Brown: Not yet!
Dusty: Why not? You've already destroyed my life taking my daughter away and turning all of my friends against me. You've done everything you can to punish me for something I didn't even do. What more could you possibly want?
Mary Brown: You took my son's future. I want yours. If I can't have your life, I can take away your freedom to live it.
Dusty: Innocent until proven guilty and you're a long way from proving me guilty. I am gonna walk out of here and I am gonna wave goodbye as I do.

PATTY DUKE: ROBBED OF ANOTHER EMMY!

I just finished watching this movie on Lifetime. I must have seen it 15 or 20 times, but it is truly one of those movies that seems to get better each time. Patty Duke, and the program itself, were not only robbed of Emmys, but also of nominations. It is an ongoing injustice with the TV Academy. A miracle of some sorts was made with this movie. It was produced in the middle of the true crime tv-movie phase, where one movie looked like another, but this one stands apart on its own.

If you are a fan of Ms. Duke's or of real gutsy characters, check this one out!
