The Boy with Green Hair

Before there was punk rock, there was The Boy with Green Hair! Dean Stockwell plays a boy (circa 1948) who wakes up one morning to find he's grown a nice shock of chartreuse-colored hair. The town doctor doesn't know what to do; the kids at school ostracize the poor boy; and the parents cry that it's contagious and claim there's something in the water and milk. What is the boy with green hair to do?
