Anecdotes
Director Joyce Chopra knew Laura Dern was right for the role of Connie when she heard "Is That the Way You Look?" from James Taylor playing on Dern's answering machine. Ironically and unknown to Dern, Taylor was the movie's music director and had suggested using that song in particular as one of the soundtrack's featured songs.

Gaffes
When the girls are looking across the street at Frank's Drive-In, the gold Pontiac is already in the parking lot, conspicuous because the left brake-light is out. Then the gold Pontiac is heard coming down the road and seen turning into the parking lot, sporting the nonworking light.

Citations
Katherine: A penny.
Connie: For what?
Katherine: You know what.

Commentaire à la une

aka "where are you going, and where have you been?"

A few things I liked about this movie: It stayed fairly close to the story.

The terror element in the scenes between Connie (Dern) and Arnold Friend (Williams) were present, as were in the short story by Joyce Carol Oates.

Laura Dern's performance was excellent, as a young girl experimenting with flirtations as she becomes aware of her budding sexuality. But something happens one day...

Somehow, inadvertently, she attracted the attention of "Arnold Friend". (If you remove the R's from his name you find his true nature).

SHe's afraid to come out of her house...she's afraid to stay inside, because he'd come in and get her. It makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, the same way it did when I first saw Carole Kane pick up the phone to hear "Are you in the house alone?"

I also like the way a lot of the Symbolism of JCO's original story remains intact.

What I don't like:

Treat Williams should not have been cast as Arnold Ariend. It should have been played by somebody far less attractive, and far more creepy.

They changed the ending. fine enough, as it would be hard to recapture the ending as written by Oates. However, the new ending made no sense.

4 out of 5 stars ;-)
