Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Landon was the first choice to play Steven Bennett. He declined, feeling that he was so strongly identified with the role of the morally upright father Charles Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie (1974) that no one would accept him portraying a sexually abusive father.
- GoofsNear the start of the film, Steven is talking to Amelia about her date for the dance. At one point, he says, "I can't believe I didn't know anything about you going to a dance with another boy." He immediately repeats the words "with a boy" again.
- Quotes
Ruth Walters: Amelia, You haven't committed any crime, try to remember that.

Featured review
Very Good Acting - Should be available on VHS video!
The film is very well handled for such a sensitive subject. I saw it for the first time just last night, and was surprised to see Danson in the role. This film could serve to help stem the problems faced by our younger generation. I would recommend it as a should see.
