Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Barry Miller, Catherine Hicks, Kathleen Turner, Nicolas Cage
Trivia: Debra Winger was originally offered the role of Peggy Sue, but had to pull out after suffering a back injury in a bicycle accident.
Trivia: Kathleen Turner plays Helen Hunt's mother in the movie, even though in real life she's only nine years older than her.
Revealing mistake: Last scene in the movie is Peggy Sue waking up in the hospital. The very last shot of that scene is of the camera backing up from what appears to be a mirror. If you look closely, it isn't a mirror at all, it's actually a window made to look like a mirror complete with another set of actors to mimic the stars of the movie's actions.
Question: What was Peggy Sue's mother doing when she came home early. Selling jewelry? Having an affair? Who's jewelry was she selling? is she a thief?
Answer: She was selling jewelry because the Edsel was a purchase they couldn't afford. She didn't want Peggy or her husband to know. The same reason they eat creamed chipped beef on toast and rutabagas - cheap food. The hat business was not doing well in 1960. Fewer men were buying and wearing hats by then.

Suggested correction: I don't believe this is a mistake this is supposed to show two alternate universes two different ways things are playing out.
