When I found this movie on youtube, I wasn't sure what to expect of it but I thought that it would be just another low-budget film glamorizing the hippie counterculture. Actually, Maybe I'll Come Home In the Spring is more so a movie about how a young girl's parents tried their best, but their ignorance drove her away and when she came home, the cycle was repeated all over again. Some scenes in it just stuck with me a long time, especially the one where Dennie seems to be going crazy, swimming repeatedly back and forth in her parents' swimming pool despite all her neighbors and friends yelling at her to stop. There were other scenes which show the reality of the hippie lifestyle. I mean, let's face it, hippies weren't all rainbows and flowers and unicorns and peace, some of them were just hobos, runaways and confused teens, rebels, protesters, outcasts of society who thought being a hippie would help them. But a lot of hippies were homeless, living in outdoor parks and makeshift tents and dumpster diving for food, begging for spare change as a living. Really though, the one who suffers the most in this movie is Dennie's sister, Susie, who wants to be a hippie and dreams of a free spirit lifestyle of drugs and endless fun but doesn't realize that things aren't always what they seem when she meets Dennie's ex-boyfriend. This is definitely a movie that stays with you once you watch it, and I also recommend watching Go Ask Alice (1973) and Helter Skelter (1976) if you like this movie.

I must have been 13. What an amazing thing the search engine/internet age is! I just punched in "movie about girl who runs away to live with hippies" and up pops "Maybe I'll come home in the Spring." 40 years have passed! I had forgotten it was Sally Fields and David Carradine, but I LOVED this movie as a child. At 12, I was already fighting with my mother about the length of my skirts, as much a product of the world around me, the 1960's, as I was a product of my family. At 13, the TV in my bedroom was, of course, being watched after lights out and I found this movie. I identified so much with Sally Fields, being shocked & repulsed when she learned to eat out of a trash can, as well as glorifying the free love and sex of the hippie culture. Can't wait to get my hands on this movie again!

"Maybe I'll Come Home in the Spring" is a sad little movie and unlike most films offers no particular resolution. When the film begins, a wayward daughter returns home after living the life of a hippie/drifter. Denise (Sally Field) is tired of begging and the bohemian life and just wants to be home. However, once there, the many family problems that pushed her out of the house in the first place all slowly come out...such as the drug abusing younger sister, the parents who hate drugs...but drink heavily and more. Overall, the film appears to be about the American Dream...and how it's all, at least according to the movie, a sack of crap. The film is decent but does suffer from some overacting here and there as well as an unresolved ending. An interesting curio....but not a whole lot more.

I enjoy Sally Field. I grew up watching her on The Flying Nun. I tried to find a copy of this movie but couldn't. Its worth watching if you can find it. I think baby boomers like me would enjoy it more. This movie does show how Sally Field has successfully maintained her acting career--she was so good in many younger roles such as this hippie-loadie-runaway-middle-class-daughter and is still terrific in whatever rolls she decides to take on now. My high school years held many of the same experiences of getting high and going to parties and being "cool" or so we thought. I had great parents and a great childhood and I still experimented with drugs. I never ran away either. I don't think this movie gave me more encouragement to use drugs but I could relate to the character choosing to do them. Now I am an insurance agent for the entertainment industry. LOL!!! I will watch this again when and if I find it.

Wow, I thought I was the only who one was affected by this movie and had some of its scenes stay in my head for 35 years as well. I am referring to Sally Field eating garbage, cutting her hair, the doll house.. those parts must have disturbed me a child and made me remember this for life. I happened upon this on a 6 disc movie compilation, the only other movie I know on it is John Travolta's Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Just seeing this movie again is so amazing since I have had scenes from this movie in my head since I was a kid. This movie is a product of its times and Sally Field is always a pleasure to watch. It's funny how she made two movies, the other Sybil that seem to have disturbed me so much when I was a child. Glad I read these reviews!

I don't know whether or not Sally Field is proud of this movie, but she should be. I was 14 or 15 when this movie came out on TV and I was deeply affected by it. I grew-up in the suburbs and life during that chaotic and difficult time in America really was like this for suburban teens and teens in general. I saw many, many kids go through similar experiences. Times were changing so drastically that the disconnect between the parent's experiences, lifestyle and ideals and those of their kids spawned the "generation gap". On a personal note, adding to the sadness of watching these kids' experiences was the fact that my older sister (whose nickname was also Deni) and with whom I was very close, was rebelling in painful ways and I was caught in the middle between her and my parents. And yes, my name was Susie as well. Luckily, I was a good kid and I hated what I was witnessing around me and what I saw at the hospitals and lock-up wards of the time, so I went the straight & narrow. Believe it or not, I think this movie helped me. It has stayed with me for almost 40 yrs, so the effect is obvious. A good movie for siblings of teens with problems and a good movie for parents.

I was six years old when I saw this on TV. I know that for a fact because I was in the first grade and Mom and Dad let me stay up to watch a movie on our new color TV, which had cost Dad a small fortune. First, I remember the hitch-hiking scene because it was common in those days to see kids hitch-hiking everywhere, and my parents would constantly tell me to never do that (and I never did); I also remember the theme song, although I didn't know who sang it. The rest of the movie today is fairly predictable once one understands what it is about, and our familiarity with the young Ms. Field was also a curiosity factor with my parents and a good reason to watch this movie. The incredible thing is that I have not seen this movie since! Honestly, I have never come across it anywhere and I had to jog my memory by reading the reviews but it has all come back to me, and had obviously stayed with me. This should be proof that, as young as I was, it made an important impression on me and had influenced my subsequent closer relationship with Mom and Dad, which is still the case today...thus making this film truly unforgettable. I hope to see it on DVD somewhere and will gladly purchase it. To me it's just another glimpse into the amazing talents of the still-adorable Sally Field. And little did I know that a mere couple of years later I would be taking martial arts lessons, due to the influence of Kwai Chang Caine (David Carradine)...another passion for the rest of my life.

This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Since it had Sally Field, I thought it would be good, but this must have been one of her earliest movies. The screenplay writer may have been on drugs. There are so many scattered flashbacks that it's hard to follow what is currently happening vs. what is a flashback. This is very much a "B" movie, and I'm sad to state I wasted 75 minutes of my life watching this no-plot, silly movie. I cringed with shame at the bad acting and the bad writing. A 13 year old could have done better. With the lack of plot it was difficult to watch until the end, but I kept hoping it would get better. At the end Sally had a choice, to stay with her parents or return to the no-job, bum druggy hippie, who stole an ice-cream truck in order to visit her. Real tough choice, huh?? Thank you, Prince Charming! Sally had to THINK ABOUT IT, and then circumstances decided for her. Run along now! Nothing to see here!
