I really liked this movie when I saw it at the drive in when it was new. The home video version seems to have a minute missing, no doubt the scene with Christy McNichol and Matt Dillon in a boat, I sort of remember she fell overboard and he rescued her, not on video either. The opening scene where McNichol kicks some poor fresh guy in the balls, well, it was edited to off camera in the version I saw at the movies. Movies with an R rating through the seventies were always fun to watch for the arrival of the dirty part, five or ten minutes long at the most and filmed better than the whole movie was. Without the "r" I can't remember why I liked Little Darlings so much. Sorry. McNichol improved the mediocre material she had with one of her best performances. Rosanna Arquette later starred in Desperately Seeking Susan.
