    • Trivia
      The name and street address of the toy company on the truck Martin Steckert pulls over is fictionally named after the movie's producers. "Roy's Toys" on "Dalton Street" is an homage to producers Roy Krost and Richard F. Dalton.
    • Goofs
      Canadians would rarely refer to a retreat by the lake as a cabin, but rather, as "a cottage".
    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Martin Steckert: The cabin was just home. Just me, my father. And he died, and it was just me.

    Enjoyed this one
    I don't believe this was an acting challenge for Richard Harris. This was an uncomplicated plot, yet interesting. It is a good movie to watch when you don't want to do a lot of thinking, just want to be told a simple story. The Canadian scenery was breathtaking. The beautiful Fall shots alone made the picture worth seeing.
