Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMichael Landon was the first choice to play Steven Bennett. He declined, feeling that he was so strongly identified with the role of the morally upright father Charles Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie (1974) that no one would accept him portraying a sexually abusive father.
- GoofsNear the start of the film, Steven is talking to Amelia about her date for the dance. At one point, he says, "I can't believe I didn't know anything about you going to a dance with another boy." He immediately repeats the words "with a boy" again.
- Quotes
Ruth Walters: Amelia, You haven't committed any crime, try to remember that.

Featured review
Still effective today
Groundbreaking movie is still good today. What a good cast. Ted Danson cast against type as the molesting father. It's quite horrific when he admits it. Glenn Close as his wife reacts realistically. First in disbelief then anger. Roxana Zal is the daughter and gives an understated effective performance.
There have been few movies about family incest since and this one stands the test of time.
