Deanie comes from a middle-class family, and her mother (Eva Marie Saint) preaches to her about keeping her virginity to the point that Deanie is headed for a nervous breakdown. Bud's wealthy father Ace (Ned Beatty) wants him to go to Yale, but Bud wants to get married and settle down as a rancher. While the story is about class consciousness and the strict rules of sexuality during an earlier era, it provides enjoyable fare.
