Actor/director Paul Newman (Hombre) and screenwriter Alvin Sargent (The Sterile Cuckoo) bring Paul Zindel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, to the screen in this 1972 adaptation.

Newman’s wife Joanne Woodward (The Long, Hot Summer) stars as a struggling working-class widow, the disturbed mother of two girls. Oldest daughter Ruth (Roberta Wallach) is a rebellious adolescent, already in trouble; younger child Matilda (Nell Potts, daughter of Newman and Woodward) may still have a chance, like some of the flowers in her school science project, which lends the film its title.

Twilight Time’s Blu-ray incarnation of the PG-rated film includes the following special features:

-Isolated Music & Effects Track
-Original Theatrical Trailer
