In the 1950s, brothers Jacey and Doug Holt, who come from the poorer side of their sleepy Midwestern town, vie for the affections of the wealthy, lovely Abbott sisters. Lady-killer Jacey alternates between Eleanor and Alice, wanting simply to break the hearts of rich young women. But sensitive Doug has a real romance with Pamela, which Jacey and the Abbott patriarch, Lloyd, both frown upon.

"Where my love of Joaquin Phoenix began 😍"
Kirsten
"This is one of those movies that is not really that great, but I like how good it makes me feel after I watch it. I like period dramas, and this one begins in 1957 in Illinois. One of Joaquin Phoenix’s earliest adult roles (though he still plays a teenager), as well as Jennifer Connelly (who was also a child actor, but who had begun playing more adult roles, and here also playing a teen)…I hope that makes sense! Liv Tyler, Billy Crudup, Will Patton, Joanna Going, Kathy Baker and Michael Keaton, as the uncredited narrator, also star. Doug and Jacey are two brothers who each share different relationships at various times with the three intriguing Abbott daughters. A beautifully-shot coming-of-age film. Amazon Prime."
