Watch My Sweet Charlie For Free

best movie i've ever seen.

Best movie ever!

The acting in this movie is really good.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Melodramatic and contrived though it may be, this acclaimed television drama about the budding friendship between a temporarily homeless, pregnant white girl and a black man running from the law attempts to do a real service in examining race relations in the late-'60s south. Richard Levinson and William Link adapted David Westheimer's novel (and failed Broadway play) with great care and sensitivity, and the dialogue between these two disparate, desperate characters is often raw and ultimately rewarding. The central situation, however--two luckless people in a resort town closed for the off-season, taking refuge in a lighthouse cottage--is pure hokum. Patty Duke won the Emmy for Outstanding Leading Actress, though her affectation in the early scenes shows her insecurity, not the character's; Al Freeman, Jr.'s angry black lawyer from the north is also tough to swallow, however both performers do improve as the tale unfolds, and the finale is quietly affecting.

I was roughly 11 when this movie hit the TV, it was a clean direct to the point first time view of what life was really like in regards to race from that time period. It was a classic eye opener, and yes what a heart warming story, I would love to see it again. I was not even sure who starred in it until I finally started punching in movie names with Charlie in it and found it on this site. Sadly I think only my generation could appreciate such a movie back then, this generation would turn it off. Seeing these comments on this movie reminds me that I grew up at the very best time anyone could, the 60's and 70's. Thank you

I first saw this movie 30 years ago, and it still remains as fresh and timely as when it was made. I have always been a Patty Duke fan, and even if you aren't you should check this out for the acting of both lead actors. A masterpiece!

The chemistry between Patty Duke and Al Freeman Jr. is merely fascinating. Freeman was primarily a stage actor who got all too few chances on film. He was given his best role here, and makes quite an unforgettable impact. Duke is totally believable in her naivete and her ability, to learn, albeit slowly, even in the face of bleak desperation. Ford Rainey is unforgettable in a small role.
