    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Mel Gibson cast himself in the role of McLeod only after he was unable to find any other satisfactory actor willing to take the part.
    • Goofs
      Meg's braces are wrong for the time period (summer 1968) when the movie was supposed to take place. She should be wearing braces the were steel bands that wrapped around each tooth with a wire bracket on the front of the band. Meg has braces that are used today, which are a bracket glued to the tooth to hold the wire that straighten the teeth. The newer method didn't start to be used until around 1980.
    • Quotes
      • McLeod: You gave me what I never expected to find again. A gift of your trust and love. And nothing can take that grace away. The best is yet to be, Norstadt. So do it well...
