Trivia
Frank Shankwicz was a consultant on this movie about himself, and convinced local Prescott, Arizona business owners to donate location shots free of charge. Since Arizona has no film credit system, they were on a limited budget, and Frank wanted it shot in his home town.

Goofs
Even back in 1980, a female secretary would not be assigned as a live-in nurse for a male employee.

Quotes
Juan Delgadillo: I want to help you. And it's okay for you to accept my help. 'Cause when people need help, you give it to 'em.
Frank Shankwitz: But how? I'm just a kid.
Juan Delgadillo: You're not just anything. You're, you! You can help people. Remember, if someone needs help, you give it to 'em.

Amazing little film - How can anyone rate this lower than 5

It astounds me the lack of compassion and human kindness in the world right now and some of these 1 or 2 out of ten mean reviewers just prove it. This 1 star means it is the worst movie you have ever seen and this is certainly nothing like that;

Great story, well acted and great music along with a fair amount of atmosphere; especially in the flashbacks make this one of the better dramas out this year.

I have to admit I did have a tear in my eye on more than one occasion; big girls blouse mode lol so in my experience when a film can evoke emotion such as that then it cannot be that bad. I rarely give anything more than a 5 or 6 out of ten these days as there are so few movies that merit anything above that but this is a solid 8/10.
