Trivia
By design or coincidence, Monte Markham's character name Joseph Moroni would hold significance to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Joseph was the name of the prophet, and Moroni the name of the angel who visited him. Further, by the film's end Joe has given up drinking coffee (forbidden by the LDS church). The historical Joseph Smith was also reported to have a predilection for younger women.

Goofs
Early on, after dinner, they have Irish coffee fireside. However, at dinner, Ginger made a big deal about the "phony" whipped cream on her sundae but had no problem with it on the Irish coffee.

Quotes
Ginger: I just don't dig violence in any form. If I'm gonna throw a bomb, it's gonna be a love bomb. If I'm gonna trip out, it's gonna to be a love trip. You know what I mean?
Joe: I think so.
Ginger: I still have faith in my fellow human beings, and so far I'm right.
Joe: Well, so far.
Ginger: It's really weird, though. People are more afraid of love than hate. And love is so much stronger than hate or violence. Just a lot harder to come by.

Not what I expected....

I was hoping to watch a love story (as the tagline of the movie suggests), but....most of the screen time is spent in the silly interactions between the Markham character and his drunken friend. Although the latter is quite funny in the first scene where he appears, then his presence becomes tiresome and annoying, as well as the character of his wife. However, the movie is not too terrible thanks to Spacek's performance, and the ending scene was great and moving.
