    • Trivia
      Frank Shankwicz was a consultant on this movie about himself, and convinced local Prescott, Arizona business owners to donate location shots free of charge. Since Arizona has no film credit system, they were on a limited budget, and Frank wanted it shot in his home town.
    • Goofs
      Even back in 1980, a female secretary would not be assigned as a live-in nurse for a male employee.
    • Quotes

      Juan Delgadillo: I want to help you. And it's okay for you to accept my help. 'Cause when people need help, you give it to 'em.

      Frank Shankwitz: But how? I'm just a kid.

      Juan Delgadillo: You're not just anything. You're, you! You can help people. Remember, if someone needs help, you give it to 'em.

    Great movie
    Watched with my wife and not ashamed to admit to crying with her. A wonderful human and uplifting movie - the end was surprisingly uplifting and unexpected while completely fitting. The amazing ensemble cast deserves a raft of nominations.
