Trivia
George C. Scott was shocked when the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) gave the film an R rating (due to the themes of incest), and subsequently made an effort to appeal the rating in order to get a PG, to no avail. When the film flopped at the box office, Scott blamed it on the R-rating. (Though the scathing reviews might have had more to do with it.) See more »Quotes

when it came out. I was 20 years old (I am now 51 years old). I've never forgotten this movie in all these years. Now looking back, this was a subject matter that took a lot of guts to touch on way back then. Heck, incest would be a touchy subject matter even now! I saw it with my 2 sisters and I remember walking out of the movie 31 years ago just dumbstruck. Wow, what a story! I've never seen it in video stores and have never heard anything about it nor have I ever met anyone else that saw it back then when I did. (What did we do before the Internet?) If you ever get the chance to see it, do. I wouldn't watch it with any children under the age of 18. It's pretty graphic from what I can remember. And the ending, well, you just have to see it.
