- TriviaTelevision debut of Reese Witherspoon.
- GoofsThe Wiki entry on this movie says that it is set in the year 1938. If that is so, then the song that Sammy sings to Alice is out of place. It was written by Johnny Cash in 1958.
- Quotes
Jack Perkins: I hear Alice lives in the shed?
Ada Guthrie: What of it? She's a damn sight safer out there where she hardly sees him than in there within his reach.
Featured review
Nice and Sensitive
This could easily have been a pilot for a drama series, or the basis for a mini-series. I liked the family (with the dashing Reese Witherspoon really at the head of it). Beau's change in the movie is a little drastic, but all in all it's a touching sensitive, wonderfully directed television movie (by the always great actress Diane Keaton). These stories are what tv movies are made for. Lastly- it may be a little too long.
