I loved this movie as a kid, and only found out as an adult that it was autobiographical - based on Sumner Locke Elliott's own boyhood experiences. The little boy was called P.S. His mother Sinden - a writer, had left him as a P.S to her 'ridiculous life.' With names like Vere and Ettie, Agnes and Logan I thought it was so mysterious and lovely. I fantasised about a rich aunt arriving on a cruise liner to whisk me away to a better life! And the book cover is pretty gorgeous too.
