    • Trivia
      Television debut of Reese Witherspoon.
    • Goofs
      The Wiki entry on this movie says that it is set in the year 1938. If that is so, then the song that Sammy sings to Alice is out of place. It was written by Johnny Cash in 1958.
    • Quotes

      Jack Perkins: I hear Alice lives in the shed?

      Ada Guthrie: What of it? She's a damn sight safer out there where she hardly sees him than in there within his reach.

    Powerful and Touching

    Powerful movie for the entire family. Patricia Arquette is very believable as an abused and love starved child. Beau Bridges performance and transition is believable and touching. We have worn out two VHS copies. I only wish this made for TV movie was available in DVD format.
