Trivia:
The title comes from a poem written by scriptwriter Frederick Stahl. He was a friend of Heather Rose and the poem appeared in an early draft of the script. It reads: "Whatever fate may thrust at me. I'll never be the same. I've had less fear of times to be. Since first I heard your name. I need to feel secure from harm. I will not keep you long. Please hold me tight within your arm. And dance me to my song." moreSoundtrack:

It seems everyone is raving about this film, the reviewers are gushing, there's effusive articles in Who Weekly, Cannes was agog - am I the only one who did not enjoy it? Don't get me wrong, I'm not some inhumane, able-bodied bastard/bitch, I just didn't think the film was a good one. Why was Eddie's character not explored to it's full capacity? Who the hell was phoning him at Julia's house and why? Where was he on his way to when Julia cut in front of him? Was he a baddie with a heart of gold? Why was Madelaine such a two-dimensional character? I just found the whole thing exhausting, laborious and with too many under-explored characters left floating aimlessly. If it was so good why wasn't it nominated for more AFI awards? Nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress (Rena Owen), it won neither. Perhaps it is a case of the Emperor's New Clothes with this film.
