Trivialidades:

During a production lunch break, Friedman spotted a hippie vagrant mooching from the food line, and Friedman threw him out. That hippie, Tobe Hooper, then wandered to Austin where he filmed "The Texas Chansaw Massacre", and completed it before "Lovin' Molly" was even released.

Citas:

Mr. Fry: A woman's love is like the morning dew: it's as apt to settle on a horse turd as a rose.

Loved the Book, Hated the Movie

Maybe Lumet's worst film. Perkins is ridiculously miscast and no one is very good.

I am particularly disappointed as McMurtry's book Leaving Cheyenne has a delicate charm and worldly wisdom beyond any other work of his. I've been drawn back to it a half dozen times to meet Molly and fall in love with her all over again.

The book was a richly textured tapestry of authentic details and the whole story revolved around an intriguing and fascinating woman. Everyone and everything is dumbed down by the script and both setting and feelings seem fake and 'Hollywoodized'.

I do hope they make it again - especially a mini-series with Lonesome Dove type production values would be a treat if done right.
