Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the sequel to 'Sarah, Plain and Tall' (1991), and Glenn Close petitioned hard for a second film because she loved the character that much.
Shot during an actual Kansas drought, so those parched fields? Method cinematography. The 1990s TV movie industrial complex briefly made wholesome literary adaptations an event television genre.
