Trivia To look like a real rock band, the four actors in Stillwater rehearsed for four hours a night, five nights a week, for six weeks. See more »
Goofs William's mother incorrectly, when scolding Russell on the phone, attributes to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe the saying; "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid." This quote is actually by Dorothea Brande. Brande herself likely was paraphrasing a passage from a book by Basil King. ("Go at it boldly, and you'll find unexpected forces closing round you and coming to your aid".) King was a Canadian clergyman who became a writer after retiring from the clergy. See more »
