"My green hair is there to remind you that war is very bad for children."War orphan Peter (Dean Stockwell) is shunted from one family to the next, until he lands at the door of Gramps. He finally seems to be fitting in, but then finds one day that his hair has turned green. He at first has trouble coming to terms with his freakish new look, but takes it as a badge of pride and a way of reminding people that war is not to be encouraged, but the townsfolk pressurise Peter to relinquish his fashion statement.
As much a propaganda film as entertainment, this still manages to put across its point, without being too preachy.
