    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This was Dolly Parton's theatrical film debut. In preparation for her role as Doralee Rhodes, she not only committed to memory her own part, but the parts of every other role in the film. Apparently, the two experienced starring actresses, Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, burst out laughing when Parton let on that she believed that pictures were filmed in the chronological order of a film's script.
    • Goofs
      In some versions, when Doralee lassos Hart and he falls backward, you can see the crash mat he falls onto.
    • Quotes

      [a candy-striper, with a 'Buffy' nametag, approaches Violet who's hauling a dead corpse on a gurny under a sheet]

      Buffy: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the coffee shop is?

      Violet Newstead: [nervous tone] The what?

      Buffy: The coffee shop.

      Violet Newstead: The coffee shop? No, I'm new here, I don't drink coffee.

      Buffy: I'm new here too. Where do you work?

      Violet Newstead: Uh... downstairs.

      Buffy: In the morgue?

      Violet Newstead: [nervous tone] Yes, that's right!

      Buffy: [looks at the body on the gurny] How did he... ?

      Violet Newstead: Coffee... too much coffee. I'm just taking him out for some air. Uh, I mean fresh air for me, he's just coming along for the ride.

      [Buffy gasps]

      Violet Newstead: *What?*

      Buffy: Oh, you're a doctor! I'm sorry, I didn't see your badge.

      [Violet looks at the badge and finally realizes that the white lab coat she's stolen is a doctor's]

      Violet Newstead: Oh yeah... I'm a doctor. So why the hell am I talking to you? Piss off!

    • Crazy credits
      Violet Newstead was promoted to vice president in recognition of her ability to remain calm in a crisis.
    • Alternate versions
      HBO/Cinemax's version of the film on Closed-Captioning changes one word of dialogue. Violet says to Mr. Hart, angrily, "The boys in the club are threatened, and you're so intimidated by any woman that won't sit in the back of a bus." Closed-Captioning reads, "The boys in the club are threatened, and you're so intimidated by any woman who isn't submissive." HBO Max's showing of the movie, as of August 6, 2022, corrects this error.

    Fun
    A comedy of its time that still plays well and is amusing. Not too many big laughs but a constent amusement. I liked the hang glider harness put to good use. All the actresses were in stunning shape and beautiful. Everyone was pleasantly playful.
