Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made during the dying breath of 1970s American political cinema, when radical chic curdled into fashionable cynicism. The Village setting is no accident—this is post-Weather Underground disillusionment.
Danny Glover's early dual role here predates his stardom by three years; apparently budget constraints accidentally invented a Lynchian device.
