CGiii Comment
In the 80s, the American film industry certainly churned out some truly bizarre films - and this is a prime example.
A girl wants to be a boy and becomes a boy - willy and all - well, a hermaphrodite to be exact.
It could easily be mistaken for a Disney production.
And, surprisingly, it's actually quite well done.
John Glover playing the father will go down in history as one of the campest father-figures ever committed to film.
A kids film with a very strange subject matter - it was the 80s - a confused time.

Milly is annoyed whenever her mom tells her to behave more appropriate for a girl. She's just not interested in fancy dresses or prom dances.

So she has to decide if she wants to life as boy or girl. Her father, who always wanted a son, supports her in checking out life as a boy. Hence Milly changes school and starts out as Willy.
