About The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane
13-year-old Rynn Jacobs lives in a New England beach town. Whenever the landlady inquires after Rynn's father, she claims that he's not available. But when the landlady's son, Frank, won't leave Rynn alone, she teams up with a neighbor Mario to maintain the dark family secret that she's been keeping to herself.
Directed by Nicolas Gessner, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane leans on a strong ensemble — Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen, Alexis Smith — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1976.
