Short description
Billy Wyatt, a former high school and minor-league baseball player, receives a telephone call from his mother revealing that his former child-sitter, and later in his teens, his first love, Katie Chandler, has died. Wyatt returns home to deal with this tragedy, reminiscing over his childhood growing up with his father, Katie, and best friend Alan Appleby.
What's left behind the scenes
- One of the primary filming locations was Chestnut Hill Academy, located near Philadelphia. One of the two co-screenwriters, Steven Campmann, was an alumnus of the school, and Thatcher Goodwin, who played the protagonist as a child, was a fifth-grader there at the time.
- Warner Bros. gave the project the green light only after Herman Raucher denied them the rights to a remake of the film 'Summer of '42' (1971).
- The film's plot is partially based on real events from the lives of screenwriters Steven Campmann and William Porter.
- The pitcher for the opposing team in the final game was the famous baseball player Wally Joyner, who played in the MLB from 1986 to 2001.
