Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLee Remick picked out two local Charleston kids to play her children. She chose the little girl because she looked like Lee at age 7. She chose the little boy because he loved hugging and kissing Lee.
- GoofsWhen Chuck and Carol stop for gas, a torn movie poster is displayed prominently on the wall of the station. Although the title and the name of the players have been ripped off, it's quite obviously Tomorrow Is Forever (1946) with the images of its three stars, Claudette Colbert, George Brent, and Orson Welles, easily identifiable; this film was not actually produced until 12 years later, in 1945, and released in 1946.
- Quotes
Carol Garth Baldwin: [to Chuck] I'm leaving here, with you or without you, but I want you to know something... I'd be a good wife for you. A DAMN good wife. I'm smarter than you in some ways and I know what's good about you and I know what's bad and I'm not afraid to tell you... I have two children who love you. They love you and I love you... and you're not easy to love, but you do need someone... and I love you. I love you, I love you.
