Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDiane Keaton had just broken up with Warren Beatty, her co-star in Reds (1981). As such, she was able to draw on that experience for this role, and even gave notes to writer Bo Goldman and director Alan Parker. They weren't initially thrilled by this, but later conceded that the character was enriched by Keaton's participation in ways that they had never thought of.
- GoofsThe selective rain that seems to hit only the actors is not falling on the background, which remains dry.

Dana Hill steals scenes
Well done, realistic film. Though Keaton gives her usual strong performance. And Finney does a good job of acting as the man coming apart (he reminds me of Richard Burton in Night of the Iguana). But the real story here for me was between Dana Hill's character and both her parents. I am not too familiar with Dana Hill, though I somehow recognize her from something. But in this film she does a marvelous job of showing the pain felt by children from parental separation. Another thing about this film is that it somehow really manages to remind me of the late 70s/early 80s. A side note for compaction equipment fans: check out that Dynapac roller!!! No idea which model is being used to compact the tennis court. But it looks like a great machine.
