Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Audrey Hepburn's final film appearance; she came out of retirement specifically for Spielberg and donated her entire salary to UNICEF.
It's a remake of 1943's 'A Guy Named Joe'—Spielberg's childhood favorite—which itself was remade in 1957 as 'The Spirit of St. Louis.' Hollywood loves dead pilots.
