I'd of course heard of this movie for almost fifty years, but I never watched it until today.  And I can't help thinking it's over-rated, especially nine-year-old Tatum's Oscar-winning performance.  She's not any better (or admittedly worse) than most of her contemporaries.  I did like the black-and-white cinematography and the period details, but I didn't care about the characters or the story.  This is based on Joe David Brown's novel Addie Pray, and directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
