Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe opposing pitcher in the final game was former major leaguer Wally Joyner.
- GoofsWhen adult Billy(Mark Harmon) finally gets to his mother, Ginny's, home, they have dinner with younger adult sister, Hope(Helen Hunt), and they discuss Hope's pregnancy. But over dinner Hope is drinking wine. Especially in the late 1980's the connection between alcohol and pregnancy was prevalent and women were warned of not drinking while pregnant, so this is out of character.
- Quotes
Katie Chandler: See that's all I want to do Billy-Boy. I want to leap of this pier and fly high in the air with hang with the wind and drift through the clouds, and at night, with the Moon full and the sea wild, I meet my lover high on a cliff and we'd swoop down into the ocean and swim all the way touch the bottom up through the dark water and break the surface. Then we'd fly to Jamaica for Pina Colatas... God, I wish I could do that.
Featured review
This is one that I have in my collection at home that is one of my favorites. Those that I have loaned it to love it also. Jodie Foster was incredible as was the rest of the cast. It was a very sweet story and only wish it had received more recognition.
