Educational adviser: Dr. Alice Sowers, Director, Family Life Institute of the University of Oklahoma. With Marilyn Fisher (Caroline Ames); Marilyn Fisher's mother (Mrs. Ames); Bill Fein (Larry); Bunny Catcher (Ellie); Lester Podewell (Mr. Ames); Shaya Nash (Ginny) and David Whitehouse (Boy at Lunch Table).
