A stellar cast features in actor-director LioneI Jeffries drama about a young boy facing the combined chalIenge of his parents disintegrating marriage, reIocation to London, and ongoing attempt to overcome his speech problem. Sympathetic, moving, but never sentimental, Baxter! features accompIished performances from Patricia Neal, Britt Ekland, SaIly Thompsett and Scott Jacoby, as the fiIm s young protagonist. Based on Kin Platt s acclaimed novel The Boy Who Could Make Himself Disappear, Baxter! is presented in a brand-new digital transfer in its originaI theatrical aspect ratio.
Roger Baxter is a 12-year-old American lad, engaging, warm and sensitive, who has never seen, felt or known love; his parents have aIways been too preoccupied with their own failures to recognise his needs. Then the marriage breaks up and, after the divorce, the boy s mother a stupid rather than an eviI person brings him to London, hoping to make a fresh start. And it is here, for the first time, that Roger comes into contact with Iove... three kinds of Iove that are to make him even more aware of his unhappiness and frustration.
