Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn this movie there is a disdainful reference to Ingrid Bergman as "that woman". This is a joke lost on the present generation, but in 1974 it would have made much more sense. This is a reference to the scandal when Bergman left her husband and daughter to live with Italian director Roberto Rossellini, and give birth to a child out of wedlock.
- GoofsThe film's conclusion is set in Kenosha, Wisconsin, but mountains are clearly seen in the distant background.
- Quotes
Michael Green: I have this phobia about getting to be 40. I don't know. When you're in your twenties, everybody says "boy genius!" And then when you're in your thirties, "Ah, yes! Young man on the way up!" You get to be forty... zip. Nothin'. No more adjectives. Just a man.
Featured review
thanks
They insist I write ten lines...which I don't really want to do, All I wanted to do was to thank the people who wrote these reviews. As the writer of this MOW, I appreciate the great reviews and comments. After all these years, it's nice to see the movie struck some chords. It was fun to do and though there were some changes... rewrites by others, I still enjoyed the final product and working with the terrific actress Karen Valentine who became a friend. Both this and another MOW that I wrote were Top Ten in ratings in those early days of MOWs. So, to everyone who liked it... Thanks a lot!!
