_A middle-aged Minor League player reflects on his coming-of-age years_ Mark Harmon stars as the protagonist, Billy, who looks back to 1960 when he was 10 years-old in the Philadelphia area and his babysitter, Katie, who was 5½ years older than him, played by Jodie Foster. He also reminisces on the era of 1966-1968 when he came-of-age and the turning-point events thereof. William McNamara plays Billy at this stage in life. Comparable movies include “The Summer of ’42” and “Last Summer” (1969), as well as “The Outsiders” and bits of “Desert Bloom.” The future “Summer Catch” is another. If you like any of those flicks, this is pretty much on par in its unique way. There are several sequences that take place on the rural Jersey shore, and you can’t beat the locations. Anyone interested in a drama that occurs by the ocean beach should appreciate this. It runs 1h 38m and was shot in late summer 1987 in SoCal (San Bernardino), the Philadelphia area, and New Jersey (Island Beach State Park, Lanoka Harbor; Camden; Trenton; and Margate). GRADE: B+
