Thanks to everyone for all the info, it was greatly appreciated. I was mistaken with my dates, I saw the film either in the late 60's or early 70's. I recall there was a black actor (Sidney Poitier?)in the movie. My husband thinks I may be referring to a movie called "The Quiet Ones" but I can't find anything on the movie. Mr. Poitier starred in it and received an Academy nomination for it. Although I was only about 6 years old at the time, the movie and IYCRMM song made a big impact on me. The first and second verse of the song fit very well with the movie. It was almost as if the song was written for the movie. I'll continue my research on "The Quiet Ones" maybe I'll hit the jackpot, if not I'll continue to look for the film. It has to be somewhere.

Thanks for the picture, great eye candy.

I'm from the Wakefield section of the Bronx, specifically Baychester not too far from Eastchester. talbot10 and I are neighbors.
