Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released months before Roe v. Wade, the film's abortion subplot hit differently—audiences knew the legal reality was about to shift, making Muffy's desperation feel transitional rather than permanent.
Peter Hyams later directed Capricorn One and 2010—this intimate drama barely resembles his blockbuster sci-fi career, though his control of ensemble tension remains.
