    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Danny Peary in his book "Guide for the Film Fanatic" (1987) states "not many people paid attention to the film upon release" while Richard Schickel in his book "Clint: A Retrospective" (2012) states that this movie in theaters "came and went virtually without notice". In a later interview, Eastwood would blame Universal for not marketing this film correctly, leading it to be a flop at the box office - even with its relatively low budget of only $750,000.
    • Goofs
      When Frank takes Breezy to the Pacific Ocean so she can see it for the first time, it is early morning. When they arrive, the sun is clearly behind the ocean, casting shadows onto the beach, not away from it, so the scene was shot at sunset, not sunrise. In the next scene, Breezy is seen in bright sunlight with the sun high in the sky.
    • Quotes

      Frank Harmon: I'm sorry... is that better?

      Breezy: I know I'm being a baby. So, don't say anything.

      Frank Harmon: I wouldn't think of it.

      Breezy: No lectures on maturity, either.

      Frank Harmon: Not a word shall pass my lips. I'll let you in on a secret... nobody matures. They just grow tired.

      Breezy: Y'know, Davy and Marcy have been living together for almost six months now. But, they don't have this... what we have. Davy tells her he loves her all the time, but... the words by themselves don't mean a hell of a lot. Marcy says that she loves him, but I think she has to say it because... then she doesn't realize how really alone she is.

      Frank Harmon: Maybe sometimes it's better to be alone.

      Breezy: Sure. Just like if you have something incurable, it's better to be dead.

      [chuckles]

    Sticks in my mind

    William Holden is always a good reason to watch a film. I thought he was wonderful in this. And even though his face looked much older, his body certainly did not!!Nice!! He gave a terrific performance and was very cute in the cotton candy scene and when he was rolling up her sleeves(love that scene and dialogue). Kay Lenz was so natural and I thought their relationship was very believable. It's always nice to see a heart open up and let the happiness take over. No matter what your age, or differences. This is such a nice quiet movie and it really stays with me for days after watching it. Can't wait to buy it and watch it anytime.
