    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The parade scene was filmed in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Veterans' Day. The students in the band were not aware of what was happening. In fact, reading the lips of a majorette, she can be seen asking, "Who was that guy?" as James Caan was weaving through the parade.
    • Goofs
      When Natalie and Gordon drive into the parking lot, it is a sunny and (almost) windless day as evidenced by the trees in the overhead shot. When he gets off his bike and she gets out of the car, the background trees show that there is significant wind.
    • Quotes

      Gordon: Don't worry, I'll get you out of there in a flash.

      Gordon: [Natalia laughs] Why you laugh?

      Natalie Ravenna: You'll get me out of there in a flash... Gordon!

    9/10
    Interesting slice-of-life from Coppola
    Newly-pregnant Knight bolts from husband for non-specific reasons which are apparently self-related. On the road, she becomes entangled with Caan, brain-damaged former football star, and Duvall, wacky but abusive cop. The type of movie that could only have been spawned in the 60's. Worth a look for its non-formula plot and for early performances by future stars.

    Disappointing resolution does not take away too much from rest of flick, which shows an interesting slice of life.
