Beauty Begins Inside - The "P" Syndrome

Murphy, Sheila, (film director.). Hendricks, Michael, (film producer.). Lynch, Tamara, (film producer.). Marks, Isobel, (film producer.). National Film Board of Canada (Montreal), (film producer.). Savoury Productions (Montreal), (film producer.).

Summary: Isabel is determined to go on a diet. Bruce and Melanie can't understand their attraction for each other. Jake spends hours in front of the mirror trying to achieve the right look, while Patrick is so grown up he is already a businessman. Enter Detective Stark, and the hunt for the Painfully Pugnacious Prickley Problem--puberty--is on. With help from his assistant Levert and intrepid biologist Fritz, he tracks down the syndrome. A hilarious send-up of detective movies, science-information shows and almost every other genre you can think of, the film cajoles, informs and inspires. A film for any teen who ever grew an inch.
