A Separate Peace
Plot
Seven teenage prep-school students become young men as they face the realities of WW II in this drama set in 1942. Much of the tale centers on two roommates who seem exceptionally close, but whether or not they are homosexually involved is never made clear. But when one feels betrayed by the other, he acts out of anger and ultimately causes the other to become a cripple. ~ Sandra Brennan, RoviCast

Reception
Film critic and historian Leonard Maltin savaged this picture: "The novel was overrated, and this supposedly-sensitive story is morbid enough to make anyone gag. The acting is incredibly amateurish, and the direction has no feeling at all for the period. A Total Bummer is more like it."
