Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The Thanksgiving pageant scene remains one of the sharpest satires of American historical mythology ever in a family film, with Wednesday's war crime testimony against pilgrim Sarah Miller.
Raul Julia was genuinely ill during filming; his visible thinness in some scenes was real. He insisted on performing Gomez's manic devotion to family anyway. He passed away the following year.
