Wissenswertes
According to sources Bette Davis wasn't exactly thrilled about working for such a young "inexperienced" director. But after the first day she realized she was wrong and this young man definitely knew what he was doing. That young man was Ron Howard, fresh off his seven season stint on Happy Days.

Zitate
Natalie Ward: [finding note from Julie] Steve! She's gonna fly that plane!

Early example of Ron Howard's skills

I haven't seen this movie since 1981 or so, but somewhere I still have a rotting video tape of it's first airing. I remember it to be very good, and Suzy Gilstrap as the wheelchair bound dreamer inspirational (and she was very cute). Bette Davis gave a very fiesty performance, and maybe it was a little over the top, but she was still very strong and at the top of her game before she had her stroke a few years later. This was also, it seems, Ron Howard's first "serious" movie (the others seem to have been low budget noisy films, love that Grand Theft Auto) and it kinda shows the themes of some of Howard's future projects--people overcoming obstacles to obtain a dream or just to survive.
