Milks Carter's story for maximum inspirational value, and at times the movie skirts dangerously close to afterschool-special territory.

Jewison handles this rich tapestry of non-linear scenes with the skill of the old pro he is, and carefully modulates the drama to create the maximum emotional impact.
