Lionel Jeffries directs this heartwarming and emotional tale of a boy who has never known love. With Patricia Neal, Sally Thomsett and Britt Ekland.

Baxter is an American schoolboy, who has recently moved to London with his preoccupied socialite mother.

Lonely, and in a foreign land, Baxter struggles with a speech impediment which further excludes him from his peers at school.

Only through his relationship with his therapist ,and a young couple (Jean-Pierre Cassel and Britt Ekland) living in his block of flats, does Baxter begin to learn what love really means.
