    • Trivia
      According to photographer William Claxton, the crew was shooting in Columbus, Texas on November 22, 1963 when the radio announced the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas. Everyone gathering around the radio was stunned, especially Steve McQueen who took it extremely hard and kept very quiet for the rest of the stay in Texas.

      When Henry plants the china berry tree in his front yard he neglects to take it out of the tin can first, guaranteeing that it will never grow larger, and probably strangle to death.
    • Quotes

      Georgette Thomas: [woken up from Henry's banging] Henry, what's the matter?

      Henry Thomas: I dreamt I was back in the pen.

    A Dose of Reality
    This movie is short on plot, but long on attitude. As I watched this movie, I kept looking for it to take a more optimistic, even-the-bad- guys will overcome story line.

    In its time, it was a remarkable realistic view of the life of someone on the outside, one who didn't fit. The images and emotions displayed all combine to help you understand those people who were not the class presidents, sports stars, or young professionals. There are no heroes in this film.

    I understand that this movie is semi-biographical for Steve McQueen. I think that is why he plays his role so well.
