MAYBE I'LL COME HOME IN THE SPRING (1971). I saw this on its TV premiere while in Third Grade and really liked it, even if I didn't understand all that was going on. Runaway Sally Field returns home after deciding sleeping rough, panhandling, dumpster diving and watching her hippie Boyfriend freak out during a Drug episode (David Carradine would be the perfect choice for this) are not the best way to live. However, old tensions with her "square" parents and her younger sister don't always make things easy. Campy so many years from now, but has held up pretty well. Sally Field has long hair in the beginning and looks very much like a young Linda Ronstadt (who by coincidence, sings the theme song
!). ***
