synopsis
Filmed independently in Boston, Mission Hill has been undeservedly ignored by most sourcebooks. Alice Barrett plays a young woman with dreams of becoming a popular singer. Unfortuantely, Alice is saddled with an unpredictable teenaged brother, played by Brian Burke. Every time the family makes some progress, Burke scotches things with his propensity for making trouble. Director Robert C. Jones wisely avoids judging his characters: everyone's human, even those who don't alway behave that way.
