    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      While Mickey (Keith Carradine) is in the bath, Nancy (Geneviève Bujold) searches his luggage and finds: An issue of Yale Quarterly, containing a review of Charles Johnston's translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, written by Mickey. An issue of The Stars and Stripes with an article and photograph of Mickey (as Lieutenant), marrying a Colonel's daughter. A photograph of Mickey and his wife at the Officer's Club in Freeslautern, West Germany in 1973. A certificate of The Air Medal, awarded to Mickey by the U.S. President in 1974. A certificate of the Distinguished Service Cross, awarded to Mickey by the U.S. President. Photos of Mickey as a pilot in a cockpit, one labelled "Saigon". Issues of Esquire and Newsweek. Two issues of Pravda and one of Stern with photographs of Mickey, apparently being arrested by security forces. The Stern article headline (roughly) translates as "Spy versus Spy", with a subhead "Which is True?"

      When Eve and Mickey are talking in the bar for the first time, she has curly hair. When they are walking out the front entrance together, she has straight hair.
    • Quotes

      Eve: I thought I was through getting involved with men who were trouble. Falling in love on a look.

      Song: Away, away, away.

      Eve: I can't look at you.

      Mickey: You have perfection about you.

      Song: Feels so nice.

      Eve: Oh, brother. Perfection. Me.

      Song: What delight!

      Mickey: Your eyes have music. Your heart's the best part of your body. And when you move, every man, woman and child is forced to watch.

    Stunning
    I drove a long way to see this film, from Riverside to Santa Monica. Well, it was long way for me back then anyway. I loved it so much I sat through it twice that night, and came back a few nights later and sat through it twice again.

    This film works for me on so many levels I can't fully describe it, but I definitely identified (and still do, to be honest) with Keith Carradine's Mickey. Chong and Bujold are appealing (especially the latter) and Leslie Ann Warren has never been better.

    Rudolph and Carradine have at least one connection, by the by--the both worked on "Nashville".
