Did You Know?
| Trivia | Cheryl Ladd expressed her delight in working on this movie because, due to its time span of ten years, it allowed her to play two different characters, being her young naive self, and her older mature self. See more » |
| Goofs | Alex leaves the train and wants to rent a car and is told to try in Dijom. This implies he somewhere in proximity to Dijon in Côte-d'Or. He hitches a ride and buys the old van. But the van has an '11' on the license plate implying it is registered in Aude department. Much further south than Dijon. Not impossible of course. See more » |
