The Fantasticks

Matt and Lewis are next-door neighbours, kept apart by a wall their mothers have built, and they have fallen for each other by moonlight. What the two boys do not know is that Mildred Hucklebee and Bessie Mae Bellomy are only pretending to feud. To seal the match, the mothers hire El Gallo, a charming bandit who also narrates, to stage a fake abduction that will let the young men play heroes.
