Wissenswertes
Director Richard Donner, who later directed Superman - Der Film (1978), went on the talk show circuit to discuss his blockbuster and was asked questions about his early directorial work. However, he couldn't remember the name of this film. He ended up calling it Dawn: Portrait of a Teenage Runaway (1976), which was directed by Randal Kleiser.

Zitate
Sarah Travis: Look, I take a drink every one in a while because it makes me feel good. It makes all this hassles about my parents and the stuff in school go down just a little bit easier.
Ken Newkirk: Why do you have to drink when you're with me?
Sarah Travis: I don't have to drink! I can quit any tine I feel like it. I just don't feel like it.

6/10

A fairly satisfactory dissection and portrait

Linda Blair gives an accomplished performance in a challenging and at times awkward part as Sarah, a 15-year-old girl who desperately tries to hide and diminish her increasing alcohol dependency. The film treats alcoholism as an illness, not a symptom, which is rather refreshing considering the year of production. Although, claim the filmmakers, her ailment is also not unlinked to her social life and character traits. The picture offers a fairly satisfactory dissection and portrait, even if Alcoholics Anonymous seem to have had a little too much influence on the production, and the predictable ending isn't quite worth the wait. The early scenes in which Sarah interacts with her classmates and her boyfriend (played by a young Mark Hamill) work generally better than the tussles within her family. Directed by Richard Donner - one year before his major breakthrough with The Omen. Michael Lerner is fun in a smallish part as Blair's psychiatrist.
