    • Trivia
      On the movie poster, Margot Kidder has her t-shirt "I love men" in English. In the movie, it is in French, probably the heroine of the movie came back from Québec. And somewhat a nod from Margot Kidder who was born in Quebec where French is mainly spoken.

    You gotta have heart
    This flick is tricky to come by, but it is available on video and is extremely likable. A very young Annie Potts plays an insecure pregnant woman who is afraid to tell her husband that he is not the father of the bun in the oven. She runs away and moves in with Margot Kidder's raunchy man-hungry drifter. The chemistry between the two make it a hard show to resist. A female buddy movie with a refreshing lightness of touch and some beautiful cinematography.
