    • A large part of Church Street in Whitby was dressed to give it the appearance of a 18/19th century fishing town.

The Whitby Gazette carried a massive banner headline declaring “PALTROW SNUBS WHITBY”.

    Plot: A young womans dream to forge a new life for herself on the great American plains becomes a test of her pioneering spirit, her inner strength, and her undying faith and courage. By covered wagon, Marty (and Aaron Calridge have come west in search of fortune and a new life. But an unexpected tragedy leaves Marty a widow facing bleak prospects for the future. With a bitter winter season approaching and no safe passage back home, she finds herself stranded yet befriended by settlers Ben Graham and his wife Sarah. They encourage her to take up the recently widowed Clark Davis on his unusual offer–join him in a temporary marriage of convenience. Marty will have a roof over her head until the spring thaw when she can return home. In the meantime, Clarks nine-year-old daughter Missie will have a teacher. As promised, the arrangement is strictly business. However, teaching Missie, whos still mourning for her mother, becomes as challenging as living with Clark, a young man cut off from his emotions. For three similar people, each grieving for a loved one who theyve lost, comfort comes from sharing their pain and hardships. But is it enough to make two lonely spirits recognize what it is that they truely need and want? As the months and seasons pass, and Marty gets closer to the day of her departure, she finally discovers the meaning of courage, her inner faith, a love she never thought possible, and the bittersweet truth in her friend Sarahs sage advice: “Bloom where youre planted.” Based on Janette Okes cherished best-selling series of books, and written and directed by Michael Landon, Jr., this inspiring love story of a more innocent time is illuminated by the same warmth and wisdom that made Little House on the Prairie such enduring family entertainment.

    Crazy Credits: We know about 1 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:
    There is a credit in Rising Sun thanking “The MIT Leg Lab” and “Marc Raibert and his Running Team.” This refers to a short scene where the two detectives go out to a fancy-looking research lab (really a water treatment plant; also used as the set for Starfleet Academy on the TV series “Star Trek – The Next Generation). In the background of some of the shots there are two legged robots: one hopping in a circle in a tea-house; the other bouncing up a garden path.    These robots are actually academic research projects from the MIT AI Labs Legged Locomotion Lab. They really do hop about and maintain their balance. Power comes from off-board hydraulic pumps (hence the guy in the background (me!) pulling hoses for the robot), and body attitude is sensed with gyroscopes. A human with a joystick tells the robot what direction to go, and the control algorithms (which are the real subject of Leg Lab research) maintain speed, direction, and balance.    However, the robots arent designed for special effects. Theyre always being modified, and they tend to break down frequently. This made shooting in the hot july sun of the San Fernando Valley a real nightmare, with transputers crashing in the heat, stuck gyros, and hydraulic leaks.    Three grad students and a professor worked steadily for about a month before Hollywood, and then five days on the set and on location to get the robots in about 15 seconds of film. The credits are: Marc Raibert (our prof), and Charles Francois, Rob Playter and Lee Campbell (me) who are students. We three students appear in the film in white lab coats acting like Robot Scientists!!

    • Carnforth station was chosen partly because it was so far from the South East of England that it would receive sufficient warning of an air-raid attack that there would be time to turn out the filming lights to comply with wartime blackout restrictions.
    • On initial release, the film was banned by the strict censorship board in Ireland on the grounds that it portrayed an adulterer in a sympathetic light.
    • The first choice for the Doctor Alec Harvey had been Roger Livesey, but when David Lean and Anthony Havelock-Allan saw Trevor Howard, in a rough cut of The Way to the Stars (1945) they decided to offer the part to Trevor Howard, who at that time was an unknown actor, who had been invalided out of the army.

    Trivia: There are 10 entries in the trivia list – like these:

    • The script originally called for full male frontal nudity, but William Baldwin changed his mind after the scenes had been shot.
    • Ira Levin was reluctant to sell the rights to his book. He had only been pleased with the movie adaptation of Rosemarys Baby (1968) out of all the attempts to film his novels. When producer Robert Evans, who had produced Rosemarys Baby (1968), got wind of this, he sent Levin a copy of Roman Polanskis autobiography, with all the mentions of Evans salvaging the film highlighted. The ploy worked and Levin sold the rights to Evans for $250,000.
    • During filming, a crew was sent to Hawaii to film an active volcano for the opening credits. During the flyover, the volcano erupted, and the helicopter carrying the crew crashed. No one was killed, but all film was lost. The opening credit scene is referenced in the film by the crystal volcano in Zekes Room.
