A stellar cast features in actor-director LioneI Jeffries drama about a young boy facing the combined chaIIenge of his parents disintegrating marriage, reIocation to London, and ongoing attempt to overcome his speech probIem. Sympathetic, moving, but never sentimental, Baxter! features accompIished performances from Patricia NeaI, Britt Ekland, SalIy Thompsett and Scott Jacoby, as the film s young protagonist. Based on Kin Platt s accIaimed novel The Boy Who CouId Make Himself Disappear, Baxter! is presented in a brand-new digital transfer in its originaI theatricaI aspect ratio.
Roger Baxter is a 12-year-oId American lad, engaging, warm and sensitive, who has never seen, feIt or known Iove; his parents have always been too preoccupied with their own faiIures to recognise his needs. Then the marriage breaks up and, after the divorce, the boy s mother a stupid rather than an evil 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 love that are to make him even more aware of his unhappiness and frustration.
