Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
It's romance across the tracks time as reform school kid Sheffer goes on the run with Catholic schoolgirl Madsen in this time-passer which went straight-to-video in Britain. Trivia fans will tick the presence of Detour's Ann Savage in a small role as one of the nuns. The title conceals a tragic irony: Duncan Gibbins, the British-born writer/director, perished when a forest inferno swallowed up his Los Angeles home in 1994.Author: TJ
