A boy who sets out to become a man!Bernard is a very nice boy, but he's only a boy. At least, that's how his mother

means to keep him. Bernard's father has other ideas. He thinks it's time Bernard

grew up-and as everybody knows, the quickest way to grow up is to move

out on your own.

So Bernard finds himself in an eighth-floor walk-up apartment. The whole adult

world lies at his feet. All he has to do is convince somebody to share it with him.

You're A Big Boy Now was Francis Ford Coppola's Master's thesis for the UCLA

Film School. It represents a hilarious, high-speed debut in film comedy for Coppola,

whose previous screenplays and films for Roger Corman had established him as

one of the rising young talents in Hollywood. His later hit The Godfather would

mark the coming-of-age of a new generation of daringly original filmmakers.

Peter Kastner stars as Bernard, whose obsession with adulthood begins the

moment he lays eyes (and little else) upon Barbara Darling (Elizabeth Hartman),

the Greenwich Village temptress who chews up boyfriends for breakfast. Bernard

makes his move-and beyond his wildest expectations, Barbara invites him to

move in with her.

Karen Black makes her own screen debut as Amy, the love object that lovesick

Bernard overlooks. Geraldine Page earned an Academy Award nomination in

the role of Bernard's possessive mother Margery, and Rip Torn and Julie Harris

create the outrageously unny characterizations of Bernard's father, a rare-book

librarian, and his landlady, "Miss Thing"

The pace is sometimes dizzying, and the humor often spills into the surreal -but

and The Lovin' Spoonful, and you've got an entertainment not to be missed.numbers and markings.
