Oversized box has been cut and mounted in a white, hard plastic clamshell keepcase. Inside hinge is worn out and has been reinforced with white glass tape. Out Of Print and only available as a cheapjack Warner Archives. These usually use the same sourceprint as their vhs counterparts (like this one). Have random chapter stops, no special features, won't play on recordable devices (like computers, burners, etc.) and are kind of pricey.

Get this vhs, which was closer to the sourceprint in age and was the original official release. It is full screen which is perefct for old school televisions as it will fill your square aspect ratio screen. Pre-viewed for quality and it has a fine line or steady scratch at the top of the frame that comes and goes at the 59-60 minute marks (about an hour in). Played fine otherwise on my JVC s-vhs deck.

Family crises in a small southwestern town are fitfully realized. Mary Ann Taylor (Kathleen Quinlan) is a young woman who longs to pursue a photography career in the big city so she can leave her claustrophobic little town. But she is held back (in part) by her romantic involvement with a local auto mechanic Jack (David Keith) who wants to be the town's best drag racer. He tells her that he's been to the big city and happiness there is just as elusive as anywhere else.

The picture' s central theme is upstaged by a subplot involving Diane Wiest (superbly played) as a battered wife, and Jack's sister, which seems to be a seperate film altogether. He tries to intervene, but in the end it's a shocking climax.
