Judy Blume on new film adaptation of her classic Are You There, God? Its Me, Margaret

Geoff Bennett:

"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret."

Just say the title and many will respond with a knowing smile, a memory of what was a formative book for young people starting in the 1970s. Now the novel by Judy Blume, author of some 32 books that have sold more than 90 million copies, is about to premiere as a film.

In the first of two reports, Jeffrey Brown visited Blume and the filmmakers in Key West Florida, where Blume owns a bookstore, for our arts and culture series, Canvas.
