Not an Oscar winning movie but the location footage alone makes this a film to be treasured. Shot almost entirely in the Wildwoods, Touched will blow you away with scene after scene of Boardwalk attractions... most of which no longer exist. The film stars Robert Hays, Kathleen Beller and Ned Beatty, as well as a few local residents in many of the scenes. Enjoy!

I worked in the small arcade under the Wipe Out slide on Morey's Pier in the Summer of 1981!!!

I waited on Schellenger(left of that huge Castle Dracula sign) at 4:20 for the trolley bus back to the Crest too many time times to count as a young teen! :) Thanks for posting.

This was a fun fast shoot. We started the weekend before all the boardwalk closed and then most of it was filmed after that. Ghost town in comparison. Who knew the footage would become a record of a lost time and place.

My friend John (credited as Farnham Scott) was the heavy set guy with the mustache. He passed away back in the fall, but was a wonderful theatre mentor and a great horror movie marathon companion. I’d love to find the full film of this or of Fat Chance (another movie he was in around the same time).

This was like having my own time machine and re-living my teenage years when I used to go to Wildwood. Thank you so much for this! The movie was very good!

I liked "Touched" and the characters have stayed in my mind. I liked how this film unfolded, had enough close calls and suspense, but not the kind that I felt jerked around and on edge. I just wanted everything to work out and end happy---and it did.

@BDRUMMER That roller coaster that you mention in your posting was named "Jack Rabbit". It was sometimes referred to as "Old Mill" also. I'm from Wildwood and worked in the movie theater adjacent to that coaster. We used to joke about how dilapidated it was. When loaded with passengers, you could see the entire rear-end of the coaster sway when it came around one of the curves. Great coaster though!

I was in two scenes in this movie. I was hitting on Kathleen Beller in the bar scene with the mafia. Robert Hays's character got jealous and a bar fight erupted. When the movie finally was released on vhs, the entire mafia subplot was removed from the film and both my scenes were gone. Had a blast though. Robert Hays and Ned Beatty were hysterical between shots.

I remember seeing this film on TV when I was a kid. Robert Hays gave a great performance.

If anyone can tell me, I've read in IMDB that comedian Mickey Shaugnessey 'plays himself'...I'm wondering if there are scenes of him performing...he was a friend and fellow comic...I saw him many times at Wildwood's Club Lou Booth and am desperately looking for any on stage performance footage of him....and if there is s clip of him that you could upload to YT, I would be forever grateful! Thanks so much.
