Pamela Adlon (Better Things) stars in this whimsical 1980s teen comedy as a girl whose wish to become a boy is fulfilled overnight. When their parents insist they must now choose between being male or female, they sagely quip, "Can’t I be both?"

After a crash course in maleness, Willy starts at a new high school, where, of course, complications ensue. Adlon is uncannily butch and boyish as Willy/Milly, while Patty Duke and out gay actor John Glover are in fine form as his parents. Briefly released in 1986, Something Special — also known and released under the title Willy/Milly — quickly disappeared from view and has been virtually unseen since.
