| Sarah
T. Portrait of a Teenage Alcoholic
Richard
Donner (Lethal Weapon, The Omen, Superman
and
The Goonies) directs this classic piece
of 70's TV cinema starring
a post-Exorcist Linda Blair, a pre-Dallas
Larry Hagman, a
pre-Star Wars Mark Hamill and about 35
familiar character
actors. 15-year-old Sarah (Linda Blair)
has a hidden problem
with alcoholism. Her father is a failed
artist who carries beer
around in his messenger bag and her mother
is a scotch swilling
socialite too busy with her new husband
to notice the downward
spiral poor Sarah is slipping into.
Needless to say, this one is filled with
classic exploitation
moments, desperately designed to drive
home the point that underage drinking
will always lead to sleeping with a frat
boy for a bottle of Vodka.
