Trivia:
Cameo: [John Irving]novel's author plays the stationmaster. moreGoofs:
Anachronisms: The orphans get to watch the movie King Kong (1933) with a certain scene intact (the giant ape peels off Ann Darrow's garments). That scene was cut from Kong shortly after its premiere and was not publicly available anywhere (until 1971), so whoever lived in 1940s Maine could only see the cut version of Kong. moreQuotes:
Homer Wells: [giving back an X-ray that Dr. Larch gave to him] I don't need this. I know about my condition.Dr. Wilbur Larch: It's your heart. You ought to take it with you.

I didn't think it was possible, but one of John Irving's most difficult books was condensed by the author himself (the last third of the book is gone) into a very very good movie. All the acting is great (especially the nice low key performances by Macguire and Caine), BEAUTIFULLY shot (in Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts), a score that fits the movie like a glove and fully realized three-dimensional characters. Plot-wise there's nothing new (young man goes out to see the world, discovers himself, etc etc) but the cast makes it seem new. They all find depth in roles that have been done before--especially Caine who speaks with a very convincing Maine accent! Bring lots of tissues with you--the movie is sad and disturbing at points (all kept in the PG-13 rating however), but it has a happy ending. Well worth seeing. See it on a BIG screen--all the beautiful shoots won't work on TV.
