1983 film. Patrick Swayze's death prompted me to get a film he acted in (Ghost and Dirty Dancing aside). The cast is composed of many future stars in roles early in their careers. The three characters whom the story revolves around are played by C. Thomas Howell, Matt Dillon and Ralph Macchio (one year and one role before Karate Kid).Frankly, it was not a very good film. The acting is not flowing, and the movie is kind of choppy (whether that is attributable to editing or the script, I don't know). It certainly was interesting to see Swayze in what appears to be his first film role; alas, his character was not a main one. Tom Cruise had a small role, and had bucked teeth, to boot. I did finish it, and enjoyed it. And it had a nice soundtrack.
