User review:
In the early 70s, I never heard of a kid actor named Scott Jacoby. Then one week I saw him in like 3 movies in a row airing in the middle of the night. Baxter! isn’t as good as “Bad Ronald,” but it held my interest even though I was just a kid, and it’s still a great film today. Scott plays this kid Roger with a lisp and he has to get speech therapy. He kinda comes of age while going through this. Sounds kind simple, and it is, but it has some intense moments. Good stuff.

Thanks! I had such a crush on him when this movie came out. We are the same age!
You may want to add the excellent thriller Scott made with Jody Foster in ’76 – “The Little Girl who lives Down the Lane”. I have seen it on some torrent sites so it would not be hard to “find”. I think it meets your BH criteria.
How is that related to boyhood/coa?
