Trivia:
The incident where Dorinda mistakes Ted's John Wayne imitation as James Stewart actually occurred between Holly Hunter and Brad Johnson during filming. Steven Spielberg found the incident so comical that he reproduced this in the final movie.

Quotes:
Dorinda Durston:
He's too beautiful. He's too much twisted steel and sex appeal. I can't be with a guy that looks like I won him in a raffle.

I saw this movie with my wife when it came out in 1989 in a small theater on a rainy night. We had just been married weeks before and in many ways still getting to know one another. We had no idea what this movie would mean to us as we knew very little about it before seeing it. I've "always" been a fan of both Dreyfuss and Hunter. He's just magnificent and she's just completely adorable. This movie hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm not one to show emotion during movies. You know what I mean guys...sneak a little tear wipe here and there. Well when we got back to the car and sat for a moment in the pouring rain before I started the car, the waterworks flowed like Niagra and we could not stop crying. All the pent up emotion of the movie came pouring out of us both and it's still one of the most touching moments we've ever spent together. This movie will have a similar effect on you if you're at all in touch with your emotions. Kudos to Spielberg for showing us his range and kudos to the cast for a great set of performances. A great example of how amazing a movie can be without tons of smoke and mirrors. This one should be in every collector's DVD rack. Even if you're not a collector of DVD's, rent it with your significant other and enjoy the ride.
