Description: I Never Promised You a Rose Garden is a movie starring Bibi Andersson, Kathleen Quinlan, and Ben Piazza. A disturbed,institutionalized 16-year-old girl struggles between fantasy and reality.

Plot: Pretty and privileged Deborah (Kathleen Quinlan) is, at the age of 16, a borderline schizophrenic who spends most of her waking hours in a bizarre fantasy realm. After a failed suicide attempt, she lands in a mental institution, where the hostile environment threatens to destabilize her condition even further. It's only through the focused attention of the sympathetic Dr. Fried (Bibi Andersson) that Deborah is gradually able to distinguish between dreams and reality again. The film was directed by Anthony Page.
