It premiered on 12th October, 1998, in Buena Vista, Florida, at the FMPTA Annual Party. The film is based on the 1991 novel The Golden Days by Gail Radley. The circus people call Cory "the first of May" as it's their term for a newcomer. It is notable for being the last film in which Joe DiMaggio appeared. PlotCory is a foster child who has come and gone from a series of foster homes and foster parents. He is sent to Dan and Michelle who wish to adopt him, but Cory is warned that he'll go to a home for delinquents if he has any more problems with his foster family. Soon after his unenthusiastic arrival, Cory is forced to join a group of children to sing at an aged care facility. He meets Carlotta, a former circus worker and performer who is one of the residents. She is as indifferent as Cory; the two form a friendship that grows. When Cory overhears that Michelle has at last fallen pregnant, he fears he will be sent to a delinquent home. Cory runs away and goes to Carlotta's facility to say goodbye. Carlotta insists Cory helps her escape; the pair run away to join the circus. Cast
