Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe portion of this film's budget provided by United Artists was cut to US $2.5 million so that United Artists could properly finance the increasingly expensive financial demands of Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate (1980).
- Quotes
Franny Philips: They can do anything they want to do, can't they? They can tell us anything, or not tell us anything, and we can't do anything, or say anything! We haven't got one single lousy human right!
- Alternate versionsThe original theatrical version was 101 minutes. The film was cut to 96 minutes for early 1980s television showings in order to make it more "family-friendly". The video version is the version cut for television. However, most of the profanity remains in the television and video versions.
Featured review
Rich kids feel not so rich after experiencing parents breaking up
1979) Rich Kids
DRAMA
Don't let the title fool you for it's really about realization among two 12 year old Manhattan kids, and are best friends of Franny Phillips (Trini Alvarado) and Jamie Harris (Jeremy Levy) living in the same beaten down complex apartment building, experiencing parent separation or break-up. Quite effective and realization piece about two underage kids who're incapable to understand, and doesn't take no sides in the issue for it balances it out. The downside is the mediocre acting and the old 1970s feel but after I got past the first 40 minutes, was when it becomes very resonating. Executive produced by Robert Altman.
