Butterflies Are Free
- Michael Whitty

Enjoyable match-up with a blind guy and a girl and...his mother in San Francisco. Eileen Heckart plays the concerned mother of "blind as a bat" Edward Albert and who he has for a girl friend in Goldie Hawn. But Eileen Heckart won the Oscar for Supporting Actress as this Broadway play which became a movie in 1972 goes through the trials of how a blind guy gets by in the big city.

A charming adaptation of the Broadway play. Hawn was nominated for a Golden Globe, Heckart won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar and Albert won a special Golden Globe. The film's first half is weaker than it's second half and too heavy on metaphors. Enjoyable and entertaining, still. I give it a 4/5.

Butterflies Are Free (1972)

Goldie Hawn is wonderful in this film, I can see why, from this early film in her career, she became a mega star. Enjoyable from start to finish, Eileen heckart gives a great and sincere performance, good enough for her to win a best supporting actress Oscar. Only Edward Albert Jr's performance does not ring true.
