Quiz
Director Richard Donner, who later directed Superman (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.

Citazioni
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.

"He's not my father! He's just someone you sleep with!"

New stepfather, new school, new boyfriend (Mark Hamill, pre-Luke Skywalker) proves to be all too much for troubled high schooler Sarah Travis (Linda Blair), who hits the bottle hard. TV-drama goes over the top in places, but is otherwise a sensitive and moving portrait, not too campy. Best scenes have Sarah T. scheming to get her precious booze (she has the liquor store deliver it while "mom" is in the shower), or trying to steal vodka from a corner store. Made in the day when movies attempted to teach younger viewers a life lesson; I don't know if that worked, but "Sarah T." is a pretty realistic depiction of teen angst. Blair is letter-perfect in the lead, conveying all the tangible insecurities of this awkward age. Was there any other teenage actress in the 1970s who was this good at being this tortured?
