74 mins     Drama, Romance, TV Movie      

I didn't mention something in that brief synopsis; "A Summer Without Boys" is set in the 1940s, during the war although far away from it. That doesn't mean the war doesn't pay a prominent part in this drama, we hear radio bro...

The Freshman (1990)

102 mins     Comedy, Crime

American Tragedy (2000)

170 mins     Crime, Drama, TV Movie
