Post Description

Verenigde Staten
Komedie / Drama
108 minuten

geregisseerd door Richard Benjamin
met Sean Penn, Nicolas Cage en Elizabeth McGovern

Henry Hopper Nash en Nicky, twee amper aan de schoolbanken ontgroeide tieners, wachten in een Californisch kustplaatsje met een mengeling van onbestemde angst en onverholen trots op hun inlijving bij de marine en hun vertrek naar de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Trots omdat ze als goede Amerikanen vastbesloten zijn de vijand een lesje te leren, maar bang voor het onbekende. De laatste dagen voor hun vertrek beleven de twee nog enkele emotionele avonturen. Hopper wordt verliefd op Caddie, de bioscoopkassiére die net in het dorp is gearriveerd. En Nicky maakt zijn vriendinnetje zwanger en moet het nodige geld voor een abortus zien te vinden.

Trivia:

**Originally rated "R" by the MPAA due to strong language and the scene of nudity. Upon an appeal, the rating was reduced to "PG."

**The bowling alley where Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage work in the film was built from scratch by production designers David L. Snyder and Jeannine Claudia Oppewall because the town in which the film was shot did not have one that fit that era.

**Sean Penn was cast by 'Richard Benjamin' after seeing in a New York stage play.

**The shots in which Sean Penn and Nicolas Cage stand in on the railroad tracks with the train coming toward them were done with large mirrors to give the illusion that the train is actually coming toward them when the train is actually on another set of tracks.

**The scene in which Sean Penn and Elizabeth McGovern go swimming in the lake was shot in the middle of winter which meant the water would also be freezing cold, but Penn and McGovern were so into the film they elected to do it anyway.

**The scene in which Sean Penn fights Crispin Glover, Nicolas Cage is then seen trying to clean off the blood on the woman's dress was 'Richard Benjamin''s idea.
