    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Several scenes with the Bridge children as toddlers and grade schoolers were shot, but were left on the cutting room floor, except for a few excerpts that appeared as home movies prior to the opening-credits roll. Joanne Woodward, who was 59 years old at the time of filming, told the Feb 1991 Interview magazine that the decision to leave those scenes out was made because she "didn't look young enough to have those young children."
    • Goofs
      In the DVD version, when the awning is ripped from the country club during the tornado, the wire pulling it is clearly visible.
    • Quotes
      • India Bridge: [as a tornado rages outside the room they are in] Walter, don't you think we might be better off downstairs in the basement?
      • Walter Bridge: India, now look here, for 20 years I've been telling you when something will happen and when it will not happen. Now, have I ever, on any significant occasion been proved wrong?
