Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Released nine months before Roe v. Wade, this was Hollywood's awkward attempt at 'relevance'—treating abortion as a wacky caper obstacle rather than medical reality.

Trivia

Director Buzz Kulik was primarily a TV veteran; this theatrical misfire explains why he returned to small-screen comfort zones immediately after.
