Patty Duke is an awkward teen living in Brooklyn. She is obsessed with her appearance and has low self esteem. This continues into high school, including blind dates and the prom. She goes to college but gets expelled for protesting. Still without a guy, she moves to the Village to find herself. Instead, she falls for her downstairs artist neighbor. Duke is good but the late 60s trappings are cliche, although her unintentional acid trip after drinking spiked punch at a party was interesting.
