You're a Big Boy Now film review by Geraldine Pontius
The Coppola directed comedy about nineteen year old Bernard Chanticleer stars Elizabeth Hartman as a woman with a wooden leg. Bernard’s mother is overprotective and a plan to divert his attention is hatched by his father with a friend. The film is a mass media effort focused on selling and filled with nonsensical moments.

You Revisit a Teen Comedy That Falls Short of Promise
Bernard seeks manhood by attempting to seduce Barbara Darling, played by Elizabeth Hartman, in a film praised for John Sebastian's music and Coppola's early techniques. The plot centers on an impotent grab at maturity as Bernard steals his father’s Gutenberg Bible and flees through New York stores before being caught. The piece notes the cast including Hartman, Geraldine Page, Julie Harris, Peter Kastner, and Rip Torn, yet deems the script weak despite the film’s artistic ambitions.
