Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBrooke Shields said she was still a virgin when she filmed this and had no sexual experience. So for her intimate love-making scene with Martin Hewitt, director Franco Zeffirelli kept grabbing her toe and twisting it off camera to provoke a reaction that would look like an orgasm. Shields revealed later that it hurt, and it humiliated and traumatized her so much, she "really shut down after that".
- GoofsAt night, as David is starting the fire, when the wind in the trees is shown, day-for-night filming fails to hide that the sunny blue sky can clearly be seen through the foliage.
- Quotes
Jade Butterfield: You know what I keep thinking about? A night in the house. I was a little girl, and then I saw David all alone. And I don't know. I just... I wanted to go to him. Was that wrong? I wasn't a happy little girl anymore. Something changed. The first time in my life I was me.
Ann Butterfield: Life goes on. We change.
Jade Butterfield: But it hurts. It hurts so much.
Ann Butterfield: Oh, Baby, it all happened so fast for you. When you live a lifetime you'll understand it.
Jade Butterfield: But he loved me. He loves me! No one will ever love me as much.
Ann Butterfield: Many people will love you. You'll see.
Jade Butterfield: But not like that. Not like David.
