To the Stars

The school scenes were shot in Wakita, Oklahoma, the same town Twister (1996) was shot. There is a museum that has props from the movie.

Iris and Maggie are seen leaving a cinema where they have just watched a showing of The Magnificent Seven, which was released in the US in October 1960. Posters for forthcoming attractions include The Curse Of The Werewolf and The Sergeant Was A Lady. The former was released in the US in June 1961 and the latter in October 1961. It is inconceivable that a cinema would be promoting a film that would not be released for another eight months, let alone one that would not be seen for a whole year.
