Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe parade scene was filmed in Chattanooga, Tennessee on Veterans' Day. The students in the band were not aware of what was happening. In fact, reading the lips of a majorette, she can be seen asking, "Who was that guy?" as James Caan was weaving through the parade.
- GoofsWhen Natalie first leaves her husband, she drives into a tunnel and emerges from on the west side of Manhattan. That is, she has driven east through the Lincoln Tunnel, presumably heading east. But immediately after, she stops at a phone booth to call her husband, saying she is in Pennsylvania, which is in the opposite direction. Had the intention to suggest a westward journey, she could have driven west through the tunnel to emerge in New Jersey.

Featured review
Look on the Bright Side....
This early Coppola work is overlong and erratic, but it is not devoid of praiseworthy qualities. The cinematography is excellent and the characters are memorable. James Caan is very convincing as the mentally handicapped hitchhiker. Also, because this film was shot on location all over the Eastern U.S., it offers an interesting, authentic look at America in the late 1960's. The title phrase does not have a significant meaning in the overall story, but only comes up during a conversation between the two lead characters (Caan and Shirley Knight). The way Coppola develops the characters by using short, dream-like flashbacks is very clever. In general, this film is not in the same class as Coppola's later work, but it's a solid character-driven story.
